If x is an integer, which of the following CANNOT equal x^3,
A. -8
B. 0
C. 1

Wow. I’m quite speechless by such a tricky question!
What did you find so tricky about it?
I understood it as which answer does not have a value when it’s x^3. Reading this problem a day after, I feel stupid.
Well keep in mind that many of the questions are designed to lead test takers to read them wrong. Be determined to read more carefully and don’t let it bother you. Consider it a good reminder of the need to really understand the question.
