15. Must be True Definitely proven true by the information in the stimulus (incorrect
answers could be false)
how to approach
-use only information present
-look for conditional statements
-pay close attention to the logical force of the propositions
If conditional
-diagram
-anticipate valid inferences (transitive conclusions, contrapositives)
If there are no conditional statements
-look for other relationships between the statements
-anticipate a weak answer choice
Common incorrect answers
-invalid conditional inferences (converse/ inverse)
-statements too strong/ outside of scope
-causes or explanation of phenomenon discussed in stimulus
-hypotheses about the future or what would have happened if something
