Most people who are skilled banjo players are also skilled guitar players. But most people who are skilled guitar players are not skilled banjo players.

Summary
Most skilled banjo players are also skilled guitar players. However, most skilled guitar players are not skilled banjo players.

Notable Valid Inferences
There are more skilled guitar players than skilled banjo players.

A
There are more people who are skilled at playing both the guitar and the banjo than there are people who are skilled at playing only one of the two instruments.
Must be false. There must be more people who are skilled guitar players but not skilled banjo players.
B
A person trying to learn how to play the guitar is more likely to succeed in doing so than is a person trying to learn how to play the banjo.
Could be false. The stimulus does not give us any information about which group is more likely to succeed. It is possible that more people are likely to succeed at playing the banjo, but the banjo just isn’t as popular.
C
Playing the guitar takes more skill than playing the banjo does.
Could be false. The stimulus does not give us any information about what instrument requires more skill. It is possible that playing the banjo requires more skill.
D
There are more people who are skilled at playing the guitar than there are people who are skilled at playing the banjo.
Must be true. This is the only way it could both be true that most skilled banjo players are skilled guitar players and that not most skilled guitar players are banjo players.
E
There are more people who are skilled at playing the banjo than there are people who are skilled at playing the guitar.
Must be false. There must be more people who are skilled guitar players but not skilled banjo players.
