H5 Read the Reverse in plain English
Four choices all look true, and the stem hides EXCEPT in the middle of a long sentence. H5 Read the Reverse: EXCEPT, LEAST, and NOT items flip the search. The credited choice is the one that fails the rule, not the one that best restates it. Polarity Miss is the named failure mode when a candidate picks a true statement on an EXCEPT stem. Circle the polarity word first, then hunt for the outlier that does not belong. Truth is not enough when the question asked for the exception.
