Summary
The stimulus can be diagrammed as follows:
Notable Valid Inferences
If you can measure a the hull of a small boat accurately, then you used a line level.
A
The scientists did not accurately measure the hull’s dimensions because they had no experience measuring hulls.
Could be false. We only know that the scientists weren’t sure they had leveled the hull; we don’t know definitively that they did not do so. Also, we do not have enough information to guarantee the causal claim that (A) makes.
B
The scientists accurately determined the hull’s dimensions, provided that they leveled the hull.
Could be false. (B) can be represented as “level the hull→ measure accurately,” which reverses the sufficient and necessary conditions given in the sitmulus.
C
If the scientists did not accurately determine the hull’s dimensions, it was because they did not have a line level.
Could be false. (C) makes a causal claim that we cannot justify from the information in the stimulus.
D
The scientists were able to accurately record the hull’s dimensions only if they used a line level.
Must be true. We know that using a line tool is a necessary condition of measuring accurately.
E
If the scientists had measured the hull’s dimensions accurately, then at least one of them would have had experience measuring hulls.
Could be false. Experience with measuring hulls isn’t a necessary condition of measuring accurately.
