We first learn of a fire that destroyed the city Municipal Building, occupying the fire fighters until the late afternoon. Because anyone within the vicinity would have seen the fire, and Thomas’s walk home had to go through that area, the speaker concludes Thomas must have seen the fire. This seems to be a fairly reasonable conclusion. Knowing that our stimulus uses a series of must-be-true information to affirm the conclusion we can proceed into answer choice elimination.
