News report: Some recently invented television screens are built out of small tiles seamlessly joined together, each tile a separate miniature screen. Television sets with these compound screens are just a few inches thick. For a noncompound screen in a set of this thickness, the larger the screen is, the dimmer it is. However, each tile in a compound screen is small enough to be quite bright. Moreover, an unlimited number of the tiles can be joined together, without making the resulting screen any less bright or the set any thicker.

Summary

Compound television screens are built by joining together small tiles that are each a separate miniature screen.

TVs with compound screens are just a few inches thick.

When the thickness of TVs with noncompound screens is held constant, the larger a screen is, the dimmer it is.

Each tile in a compound screen is small enough to retain brightness.

In compound screens, you can have an unlimited number of tiles joined together without making the screen less bright or the TV set thicker.

Notable Valid Inferences

For TVs with compound screens, having a larger screen doesn’t mean that the screen will be dimmer. These TVs can be bright and large.

A
The technology used to make compound television screens is not appropriate for television sets with relatively small screens.

Could be false. There is no information in the stimulus to indicate that compound screens can’t be used for TVs with small screens.

B
There is a great consumer demand for television sets that are just a few inches thick and that have very large screens.

Could be false. The stimulus does not mention consumer demand, so we cannot make inferences about consumer demand.

C
In a television set with a noncompound screen, the thicker the television set, the brighter the screen.

Could be false. The stimulus only discusses noncompound screens “in a set of this thickness.” The stimulus does not discuss how changing the thickness of the TV impacts the brightness of the screen.

D
Television sets that are just a few inches thick can now be made with screens that are both bright and very large.

Must be true. TVs with compound screens are just a few inches thick, and they can have screens that are both bright and very large.

E
Television sets with compound screens do not have any disadvantages relative to sets with noncompound screens.

Could be false. This is outside of the scope of the stimulus; it could certainly be the case that there are many disadvantages of TVs with compound screens that the stimulus did not mention.
