Hi!
I'm so confused about the strategy for elimination on MOR questions.
I eliminated b and d straight away reading 'positive'. I thought the answer choice should include words of 'certainty' due to 'we can be sure'. Is my elimination strategy too extreme? I usually do this on method of reasoning first eliminating explicitly wrong answers from several cues, but I think for this one was too extreme to just eliminate right away?
Besides, I usually separate 'quantitative' and 'qualitative' + overall structure cues, and match three kinds of cues to each answer choice, eliminate and confirm. Is this strategy okay?
Huge thanks in advance for someone who can advise me for this questions and overall strategy!

@sunwooyun1230202 I think "positive" is equivalent to "sure". See definition 1.C here: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/positive

I thought positive is slightly different from 'sure' as 'sure' equates 'must' whereas 'positive' means having some degree of certainty, which isn't must. I think I went too far! Thanks for comment:)
I don't think I'd agree, but regardless you can assume the test won't require you to split hairs like that.

This one was best done via conditional logic mapping, which would have produced:
A (some) B → C
A (some) C
Then you just match the AC to that structure.
What's the difference in your mind between we can be positive, we can be sure, and we can be certain?
