What Are Qualifying Words in True/False Questions?

The answer is qualifying words. Words like 'always,' 'never,' 'all,' and 'none' narrow a statement down, and that's usually where a true/false question tries to trip you up.

Qualifying words tighten a claim so much that they're often what makes it false — absolutes especially. When you spot one of these words in a true/false question, slow down and check whether the statement actually holds up in every case, since "always" and "never" leave zero room for exceptions.
