Multiple Choices

Me: What are some helpful techniques when you are stuck on a multiple choice question ?
7th Grader: I don't know.
Me: Think about what you have done in the past.
7th Grader: I know what you want me to say; process of elimination, cross out answers that don't make any sense, etc. but I gotta be real with you Ms. O and tell you that "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" usually works fine too.
