What this question is testing
Objective: Number sense
Prompt focus: An elementary teacher writes the number 4,067 on the board. What is the value of the digit 4 in this number?
Why the correct answer works
4,000
The digit 4 is in the thousands place, so its value is 4,000.
Why the tempting wrong answer fails
The tempting wrong answer usually loses because it skips the key condition, priority, or evidence in the prompt.
Plain-language takeaway
In the number 4,067, the digit 4 is in the thousands place. Therefore its value is 4 times 1,000, which is 4,000.
Simple analogy
