@BendrixBailey I partially agree. The first statement in the stimulus corresponds with the first statement in the pattern. One could even go so far as to say the second one does as well. But the conclusion doesn't correlate, because in the "B minus" question, the answer involves an additional step as you mention of considering the implication of the second stimulus statement.
@currybutterchicken You are understanding the term "each" correctly. Yes, each student who earned lower than a B minus missed at least one class. That is not in dispute. The problem lies in assuming that everyone who missed at least one class necessarily earned lower than a B minus. In other words, that the reverse is true. A -> B does not equal to B -> A. And this is a foundational concept for this test. It could be that one guy earned a C+ and missed a class, while three guys missed one class and still earned an A in this scenario.
@LevelBlissfulPercentage I noticed this too. "Credit can be given only if the missed copy is reported to us within twenty-four hours and only if a replacement copy is unavailable." In a very technical way, the answer doesn't make sense. Having said that, I suppose that we are supposed to reason that credit could also be made available when temporary non-delivery is not abided by when appropriately requested, since the only way to cancel is by making a written request beforehand.
