Must Be True questions ask you to choose the answer that is supported by the stimulus, not the answer that sounds plausible or interesting.
Core Strategy
Treat the stimulus as evidence. The correct answer must be provable from what is written.
Common Trap
Wrong answers often go slightly beyond the text. If the answer needs an extra assumption, it is not must-be-true.
