Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: Four
Concept: Reading Inference.

Solution: The father raised 5 children in total. Since the narrator is one of the 5 children, the narrator has 4 siblings (5 total children - 1 narrator = 4 siblings).

Why other options are incorrect:
  • Option B: 5 represents the total number of children, not the number of siblings.

  • Options C & D: Miscalculate the family total.
