Q: In this task, you need to write an incorrect answer to the given question. Along with the question, you are also given the correct answer(s) and the associated paragraph. An incorrect answer should be closely related to the content of the paragraph and/or the question but will not truthfully answer the question. Your incorrect answers should be similar to the given correct answer such that it will pose a challenge for students to distinguish the two. A good incorrect answer should prevent those who skip the paragraph from answering the question. The incorrect answer should not be trivial, in the sense that they should not be easily eliminated without reading the paragraph.
Paragraph- Sent 1: Allan sat down at his desk and pulled the chair in close.
Sent 2: Opening a side drawer, he took out a piece of paper and his inkpot.
Sent 3: After filling his pen, Allan looked at his paper in the orange glow from the lantern set back in the desk's right-hand corner.
Sent 4: His pen cast a forbidding line of shadow slanting across the page, echoing the inky darkness crouching in the edges of the lantern's struggling glow.
Sent 5: The only other illumination came from a lurid moonlight filtered through thin branches and clouds, casting its bone-pale glow onto the pine floorboards.
Sent 6: Allan unfolded another page, this one crowded with ranks of letters in tight formation from left to right.
Sent 7: The lines of letters stepped into their divisions, in the shape of a story's outline: the loose, dry skeleton of a tale lay exposed beneath their feet, awaiting tendons, muscle and blushing skin.
Sent 8: Allan reviewed the troops, all prepared to disembark, their task to form the tale of a young man returning home from Life Abroad to find his childhood friend a bride to-be, thus upsetting the apple cart of his life's plan, clarified – of course – by his very time away from her he loved best.
Sent 9: Although the concept was a simple one, Allan thought it had potential.
Sent 10: Besides, the public liked a good, simple romance.
Sent 11: Perhaps this will be more saleable, he thought and began to write.
Sent 12: They gazed at each other, lost in the rapture of love based so deeply within their hearts that they had never seen it before.
Sent 13: "What about Roger?"Sent 14: she asked, knowing that the answer no longer mattered.
