Cách thức áp dụng: ( đối với câu dài phức tạp)
Xem xét đồng thời 4 chọn lựa, nếu thấy lựa chọn nào khác với 3 cái kia thì ta loại ngay, rồi xét tiếp các lựa chọn tiếp theo để có một lựa chọn khác với 2 cái kia thì loại tiếp. Cuối cùng chỉ còn lại 2 lựa chọn thì ta xem tiếp coi chúng khác nhau chỗ nào mà xoáy vào chổ đó để suy ra đúng sai!(nếu không suy luận được thì chọn một trong hai).
