Hide analysis

Support If there is an election, you can either vote or not. ██ ███ █████ ███ ████ ███ ████████████ ██ ███████ ███ ██████████ ███ ███████ ██ ███ █████████ ██ ███ ██ ███ █████ ███ ████ ██ █████ ██ ████████ █████ ███ ████████ ███ █████████ ██ █████████ ██████ ███ ████ ████ ███ ████████████ ██ ███████ ███ ██████████ ███ ███████ ██ ███ ████ ████ ██ █████ ██ █████████

Method of Reasoning

The stimulus can be diagrammed as follows:

The reasoning in which one ██ ███ █████████ ████ ███████ █████████ ████ ██ ███ ████████ ██████

a

When you rent █ ████ ███ ███ ██████ ████ ███ █████████ ██ ████ ██ ███ ████ ███ █████████ ███ ███ ████████ ███ ██ ███ ███ ██████████ ███ ███ ██████████ ██████ ███ ███ █████ ████████ ████ ██ █████████ ██ ██ ████ ██ ██ █████████ ███ ████ ██ ██████ ███ ██ ███ ███ ████████

Mismatched conclusion. While the stimulus concludes that one of two conditions could be the case after an election (either satisfaction or no right to complain), the conclusion of (A) makes a recommendation (you will be better off if you are insured).

b

If you go ███ █ █████ ████ ███ ███ ████████ ██████ ███ ████ ████ ███████ ██ ███ ████ ████ ██ ███ ████ ████████ ████ ████ ███████ ████ ██████ ███ ██ ████ ███ ████ ████ ██████ ████ ███████ ████ ████ ██████ ██████ ███████████ ██████ ██ ████ ██ ████ █████ ██████████ ██████ ████ ███████ ████ ████ █████ ██ ████ ████ ██████ ██████ ████████████

Mismatched premises. The stimulus gives a situation (an election), the two possible conditions that follow (voting or not voting), and the necessary conditions of each of those conditions (satisfaction or not having the right to complain, respectively). (B) does give a situation (finishing a walk) and the two possible conditions that follow (relaxed or not relaxed), but (B) does not give the necessary conditions of each of those conditions.

c

If you attend ███████ ███ ████ ████ ███ ███████ ███████████ ██ ███ ████ ████ ██ ████ ████████ ███ ██████████ ███ ████ ████ ███ ███████ ████████████ ██ ████ ████████ ███ ███ ██████████ ███ ████ ████ ██ ██████ ████ ████████ ███ ██████████ ██ █████ ███████ ███ ███ ████████████

Mismatched premises. The stimulus gives a situation, the two possible conditions that follow, and the necessary conditions of each of those conditions. (C) does give a situation (attending school) and the two possible conditions that follow (finding the courses stimulating or not), but (C) gives additional sufficient conditions for each option, rather than giving the necessary conditions of each of those options.

d

If you use █ █████████ ███ ████████ ███ ██████ ██████ ████████ ██ ████ ██ ███ ████████ ███ ██████ █████████ ████ ███ ██████ ████████ ██████████ ██ ████ ███ ███ ██████ █████████ ████ ███ ██████████████ ██████████ ██ ███ ███████ ██ ███ ████████ ███ ███ ██ ██████ ████████ █████████ ██ ██████████████ ██████████

The diagram for (D) matches the diagram of the stimulus:

e

When manufacturers use █ ███████ █████████ ████ ███ ██████ █████████ ██ ████████████ ██ ████ ███ ████████████ ███ ████████ ████ ██ ████████ ████████ ██ ████ ███ ██████████ ███ ████████ ████ ████ ████ ███████ ██ ██████ █████████████ ███ █████████ ██ ████ ██████ ██ ██████

Mismatched conclusion. The stimulus concludes that one of two necessary conditions will be met; the conclusion of (E) brings in a brand new idea that is not introduced in the premises (being fined).
