The answer is qualifying words. Milady names them directly: watch for qualifying words like all, most, some, none, always, usually, sometimes, never, little, no, equal, less, good, and bad.
The book pairs this with a specific rule of thumb: absolutes (all, none, always, never) are generally not true. "Absolute words" in the choices is a near-miss — absolutes are one category of qualifying word the book calls out, but the umbrella term it actually teaches is qualifying words.
Milady Standard Barbering, 6th ed., Ch. 19 (Preparing for Licensure and Employment), p. 711: "Watch for qualifying words (all, most, some, none, always, usually, sometimes, never, little, no, equal, less, good, bad)."
