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.
