  I believe yes to both, because if it must then it could.
  Especially because this is for LG, there will only be one, eventually clear-cut, answer. Because of that, if you know that it must then you can pounce on that as the right answer.

  Hello 7sagers,

  If a question in LG asks, "Which one of the following Could Be False?"

  Can a choice that is Must Be False be correct?

  Similarly, if a question in LG asks, "Which of the following Could Be True?"

  Can a choice that is Must Be True be correct?

  Thanks very much in advance!

  Yes, to both questions! This happens a lot.

  For sure. What Game/question are you referring to? I’ve never paid attention to this; once I see a “could be” AC I don’t stick around to consider it any further. Though they absolutely could do this and the AC would be unambiguously correct, I’m just a little surprised they actually would.

  @"Cant Get Right" Hi Josh! I was solving PT36 Game 4, which contains two CBF questions. These questions actually don't contain MBF as correct answers (CBF AC's are correct!), but as I was reviewing the meaning of the question stem carefully, I thought of a hypothetical situation where I may be given a MBF answer choice for a CBF question and wondered whether I could choose MBF as the correct AC. Along with that thought, I wondered if we are ever given both MBF and CBF AC's to a CBF question, whether there is a reason to choose the CBF AC over MBF AC.

  Based on the help I received above, it must be the case that a CBF cannot have both CBF and MBF AC's because there can't be two correct answer choices to a question.

  My takeaway is that if a CBF does contain a MBF as one of the AC's, that MBF AC would be correct. Thanks so much!
