Sonoma State University, Sonoma, California

Proctors: Let people choose where they wanted to sit. One ate a sandwich during the test...

Facilities: The university itself is nice and small. The room our test was in however...

What kind of room: A small classroom.

How many in the room: About 30

Desks: SMALL FOLDING DESKS. THE MOST TERRIBLE DESKS IMAGINABLE.

Left-handed accommodation: I didn't pay attention.

Noise levels: Terrible. The window was open and you could hear people laughing/yelling outside. People walked by our classroom talking loudly and the proctors didn't even go out to tell them to be quiet.

Parking: I was dropped off.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: About 40 minutes. They had everyone line up outside in four rows and then each row walked single-file to a different classroom. It was strange. None of the other locations I tested at did this.

Irregularities or mishaps: ^The walking/lining up thing really threw me off. It was unexpected.

Other comments: Terrible. Avoid this location if you can for the small desks alone, not to mention all the other weird parts about it.

Would you take the test here again? NO

Date[s] of Exam[s]: October 2015

I am confused by something JY said when explaining why answer choice D is incorrect and I'm hoping someone can help me out!

Here is how I understood the question:

Conclusion: Almost anyone can be an expert. A → E

Premise: Anybody who manages to convince some people of his or her qualifications in an area is an expert. CSPQ → E

Answer Choice A: Almost anyone can convince some people of his or her qualifications in an area. A → CSPQ

Answer choice A is correct because it completes the argument (A→B→C, A→C).

Answer Choice D: Every expert has convinced some people of his or her qualifications in some area. E → CSPQ

JY explains that if this were a must be true question, answer choice D would make more sense since the definitions of expert is the same as the definition given in the premise. I'm getting really confused by this because, given the way I've made sense of this question, D wouldn't be not be true if all the given premise was true (the contra-positive would be /E → /CSPQ). Am I thinking about this completely wrong? Can someone spot the error in my logic or explain what JY meant?
