My friend, a mistake turns out to be silly if an errant making this mistake does possess abilities to evaluate a difficulty level of the question; one feeds back onto the answer to that question by finding it (an answer) silly. So I find you smart enough.

Anxiety is an element of human psychology. Moderate degree of anxiety is good for the contest like activities, e.g. GMAT

Thought-blocks are the consequence of tiredness and industrious agenda. You may need to rest to save the energy for real test.

Inability to focus for the short periods of time say 2 to 3 mins during exam. >>> You must be kidding, as we may not concentrate instantly for more than 1 min 50 seconds for any single question on GMAT. If we do so, the test should finish us up.
My knowledge frontiers came to evolve the GMATPill's methods - the credited study means to boost the Verbal competence. I really like their videos, especially for RC, CR and SC. You do check their study methods at https://www.gmatpill.com

I'm still trying to figure how this question ended up in Data Sufficiency section. I think tried solving it for a second, then I figured I'm going crazy.
