D) The stems in multiple-choice items should present a single problem. Also, nonessential details should be left out. The result is a clearer and more readable question. It is also advisable not to repeat words in the alternatives that could be included in the stem, and distractors that require very fine discriminations should be avoided. Finally, use of "all of the above" and "none of the above" should be avoided.
