Question 21

Question

Greg is serving as an expert witness and is being cross-examined at trial. The questioning party gets
Greg to state that he spent considerable time working on a certain issue in the case. Then the
questioning party asks many questions on a tangential issue in the case that Greg knows little about.
Which of the following describes the questioning party's method?

Accepted Answer

Myopic vision

Parker H. · Answer

A , since "myopic vision" is when the questioning gets hyper-focused on an irrelevant or minor point and ignores the expert's main area. D's a common trap but that's more about using someone to bounce ideas off, which isn't what's happening here. Pretty sure about this based on similar exam questions.

Amelia Z. · Answer

D is a trap, this isn't about bouncing ideas. The questioning stays narrow and skips Greg's main area, so A fits better.

Jamie I. · Answer

Honestly, I’d say D. Seen similar in practice tests where sounding board is used if the expert gets questioned on things outside their actual focus. Official guide mentions it sometimes, so I think it fits here.

D

Liam Q. · Answer

I saw this type on a practice test, pretty sure it's A.
