Here's a tip for determining the answer to a situational question when it's based on Matthew 26:22 or 26:25, and starts with "Surely". Consider the verses below.
Matthew 26:22
They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, “Surely not I, Lord?”
Matthew 26:22
They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, “Surely not I, Lord?”
Matthew 26:25
Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?”
Can you see how the similarity in these quotes could cause a problem? Both these verses can be situational questions, but in order to effectively pre-jump on them, you should know what type of question they are along with what they say, since both quotes start the same.

The situational for Matthew 26:22 will ask:
Q: Who said it, to whom*, and how? "Surely not I, Lord?"
A: They (the twelve) were very sad and began to say to him (Jesus) one after the other,
*This part may not appear in the question.
Matthew 26:25, in contrast, may ask "who said it", but there shouldn't be a "how" or "to whom" anywhere in a situational question from that verse. So that's how you can tell the difference. This should help in pre-jumps.
