I often come across SC questions where options are long enough and very different one another. It takes up lot of my time. Could someone help me with the common mistakes that these options would test and give some hints to solve these kinda questions fast?
One sample problem:
Guillotined on highly questionable charges at the height of the Reign of Terror, Antoine Lavoisier (1743-1794), now universally recognized as the "Father of Chemistry," who named both oxygen and hydrogen, proved that sulfur was an element, contributed to the formulation of what we now know as the metric system, was raised as a nobleman and educated in the leading scientific theories of his day.

Might be better to use an Official Question as an example. While it's true there are some lengthy SC, I can't recall of the top of my head anything quite this long! Looking for idioms or easy-to-spot errors to quickly see which ones are unlikely to be the correct answer choice may be helpful (i.e. either.. or.. etc)
