Summary

Good students learn more than what their parents and teachers require them to learn. This requires that these students derive pleasure from the satisfaction of their curiosity. In order to experience that pleasure, one must be capable of concentrating on a topic so intently that one loses track of one’s own identity.

Notable Valid Inferences

In a Must Be False question, the 4 wrong answers will be statements that could be true. The correct answer will be a statement that contradicts what we know from the stimulus. Here, the correct answer should contradict the conditional chain we can infer from the stimulus. For example, the correct answer might tell us that there are some good students who cannot concentrate so intently that they lose track of their identity.

If the statements above are █████ ████ ██ ███ █████████ █████ ████ ██ ████ ███████

a

Some people who ███ ███████ ██ ████████ ██ ████████ ██ █ █████ ████ ████ ████ █████ ██ █████ ███ ██████████ ███ ████████████ █████████ ██ ████████ ████████ ████ ███ ████████████ ██ █████ ██████████

Could be true. We know everyone who can derive pleasure must be able to concentrate intently. But it's possible there are some people who can concentrate intently who can't derive pleasure. (If A requires B, it's still possible that B can occur without A.)

b

Most good students ██ ███ ██████ ████████ ████ ███ ████████████ ██ █████ ██████████

Must be false. To be a good student, one must learn more than required, which in turn requires that one derive pleasure from satisfying curiosity. So it's impossible for some or most good students to be incapable of deriving pleasure from satisfying curiosity.

c

Many people who ██████ ████████ ██████ ████ ███ ████████████ ██ █████ █████████ ███ ███ ████ █████████

Could be true. Deriving pleasure is a necessary condition for being a good student. But it's possible there are some people who derive pleasure who are not good students. (If A requires B, it's still possible that B can occur without A.)

8%
d

Some people who ███ ███ ████ ████████ ██████ ████████ ████ ██████ █████ ██ █████ ███ ███████████

Could be true. Deriving pleasure is a necessary condition for being a good student. But it's possible there are some people who derive pleasure without being a good student. Also, (D) refers to deriving pleasure from losing track of identities rather than deriving pleasure from satisfying curiosity.

e

Most people who ███ ███████ ██ ████████ ██ ████████ ██ █ █████ ████ ████ ████ █████ ██ █████ ███ ██████████ ███ ███ ████ █████████

Could be true. Concentrating intently is a necessary condition for being a good student. But it's possible most people who can concentrate intently still aren't good students. (If A requires B, it's possible that most Bs are not A.)
