Necessary Assumption Safe Tip?

When confronted with two reasonably sounding answer choices to a necessary assumption question, is it generally a good/safe idea to pick the response that is limited in scope and moderate in tone? In other words, is the same concept for inference questions reasonable to apply to necessary assumption questions? e.g. pick, "at least some students can..." as opposed to, "All students can..." Or, do you think one could run into trouble employing this strategy?

Thanks!
