Summary

When a bill comes before a legislative body, most representatives are prepared to vote for it. Most of the time, when a bill is unlikely to get approval by the majority, compromise regarding the content is possible. When the bill concerns an issue of fundamental importance to a large bloc of representatives, compromise is impossible.

Notable Valid Inferences

In a Must Be False question, the four wrong answers could be true. The correct answer will contradict something that must be true based on the stimulus. Since we know that when approval is unlikely, compromise is usually possible, and that in order for compromise to be possible, the bill cannot concern an issue of fundamental importance to a large bloc of representatives, we can infer that when approval is at first unlikely, usually the bill does not concern an issue of fundamental importance to a large bloc of representatives. We can predict that the correct answer might contradict this inference.
