I think and hope you could drastically reduce this effect by giving people an ADBOC box to check. It would promote the idea to the test-taker's attention, and it would be extra appealing since it's clearly the most sophisticated option and shows you're a nuanced thinker.

Unfortunately, real life discourse generally doesn't have a prominently displayed ADBOC checkbox. People have confidently informed me that gun control laws fail to reduce people's access to guns.
