   1 flagged finding: an unverified quote attributed to Dr. Susan Embretson with no citation -- the same researcher name is reused with a DIFFERENT unverified quote in a sibling article (reading-practice-exam-questions-correctly.md), confirming a pattern of manufactured attributed quotes.

   Before

   "Understanding why distractors are wrong is more educationally valuable than knowing why the correct answer is correct. The distractor targets common conceptual confusions; understanding the exact property that makes a distractor incorrect resolves those confusions rather than merely adding correct answer knowledge." -- Dr. Susan Embretson, Department of Psychology, Georgia Tech

   After

   Understanding why distractors are wrong is often more educationally valuable than knowing why the correct answer is correct. The distractor targets common conceptual confusions; understanding the exact property that makes a distractor incorrect resolves those confusions rather than merely adding correct-answer knowledge.

   Why: Removed an unverified quote attributed to Dr. Susan Embretson with no citation. The same researcher name is reused with a different unverified quote in a sibling article (reading-practice-exam-questions-correctly), confirming a pattern of manufactured attributed quotes. Converted to unattributed prose preserving the underlying claim.
