 ## Exercise
 An exercise tests the fact that is stated in the learning objective. It consists of:
 1. A prompt, posing to the student:

 An exercise set comprises 3 exercises that all test the same single learning objective in three different ways: one bigger multiple choice exercise and two smaller true/false statements.
 
 ## Distractors
-Distractors are the alternative answer option choices of the exercises that are not the correct answer. The false statement can also be considered a distractor (tempting the student to thing it is correct). Distractors are in fact the most important part of the exercises, because they often either make or break it. This is because distractors are difficult to get right, because in order to be effective they need to strike a precarious balance between "plausible-sounding" and yet "not too close to the truth", both at the same time. More on that in the requirements section.
