An item is intended to measure critical-thinking ability, but students can obtain high scores merely by recognizing familiar vocabulary. The primary concern is that the item may lack:

A. reliability
B. construct validity
C. usability
D. discrimination power
Correct Answer: B. construct validity

If an item meant to measure critical thinking only rewards vocabulary recognition, it does not measure the intended construct, so construct validity is lacking.
