Thanks for bringing this to my notice.

Could you please share few examples so that I can practice this stuff?
Sure! One example is OG13 Q#98 -- option E is considered wrong as "other" is not mentioned there.

Another similar question from GMAT Prep:

Paper production accounts for approximately 40 percent of the world's industrial use of wood, and the market for paper is growing faster than it is for all major wood products.
A. the market for paper is growing faster than it is for all
B. the market for paper is growing faster than the market for all other
C. the market for it is growing faster than it is for all other
D. its market is growing faster than the market for all
E. its market is growing faster than it is for all other

Options A and D are incorrect as those options are illogically including "market for paper" into "market for all major wood products". Here the sentence is supposed to compare the market growth of "paper" with the market growth of "all other major wood products"

This question is from Kaplan. There are many such unofficial questions.
