Self-study
Outsiders in any field often believe that they can bring in fresh, useful solutions that have been overlooked by insiders. ███ ██ █████ ████████ ██ ██████████ ████ ███ ███ ████████ ██ ████████ ██████████ ███ ███████ ████████ ███ ██ ██████ ████ ██ ██████ ███ ██████ ██████████ █████ ███ ██ ███ █████ ████ █████████████ ███████ ███████████
Summary
Outsiders believe they can provide new solutions in fields they are unfamiliar with, but they are wrong. Creativity without relevant experience is useless. Effective problem-solving requires a deep understanding of the problems, which is gained through experience.
Strongly Supported Conclusions
Problem-solving requires experience (or any valid inference along this chain)
Problem solved —> have understanding —> experience in the field.

Which one of the following ██ ████ ████████ █████████ ██ ███ ███████████ ██████
a
The more experience █ ██████ ███ ██ █ ██████ ███ ████ ██████████ ████ ██████ ███ █████ ████████ ██ ███ ██████
The stimulus does not say that more experience leads to more creativity. It only argues that creativity without experience is useless.
b
Those people who ███ ███████████ ██ █ █████ ██████ ████████ ████████ ██████████
This is too strong to support. The stimulus argues that only experienced individuals can provide creative solutions, not that they always possess creative solutions.
c
Creative solutions in █ █████ ██████ ████ ████ ██████ ████ ██████████ ██ ████ ██████
The stimulus explains that creativity without experience is useless, and problems can be solved only by people who understand them. Thus, creative solutions must come from people with experience.
d
The experience required ███ █████████ ███████████████ ██ █ █████ ████ ███ ████ █████████ ██ ███ ███████ ███████████
The stimulus does not mention whether experience differs based on the field’s complexity. You must make a number of assumptions to make this work.
e
Outsiders should be ████████ ███████ ██ █ █████ ██████ █████ █████ ██████████████ ██ ████ ██████
The stimulus does not say anything about when to give outsiders responsibility. The stimulus is purely focused on the requirements to come up with creative solutions.
