Needs stronger evidence

The exact change

Before

A quote attributed directly to Dr. Thomas Haladyna's book Developing and Validating Multiple-Choice Test Items, with no page reference, describing absolute-language distractors.

After

De-attributed to plain unattributed prose. The legitimate Haladyna book reference in the reference list was retained since it was not the direct source of the unverified pull-quote.

Suggested change

De-attributed the quote to plain unattributed prose preserving the underlying claim; retained the legitimate Haladyna book reference since it was not the direct source of the fabricated pull-quote sentence.

Why this is better

Removed an unverified quote grafted onto a real author's known work with no verifiable page citation.
