If understanding a word requires knowing the dictionary definition, then understanding a word requires understanding all the words in the definition.

Some babies say things. But they don’t know the dictionary definitions of the words they say.

There are no clear inferences to draw from these facts. One thing that we should definitely NOT infer is the idea that babies don’t understand the words they utter. We don’t know this is true, because we don’t know whether understanding a word requires knowing the dictionary definition.

Could be false. We don’t know whether understanding a word requires knowing the dictionary definition. The first sentence starts with IF. The IF part of the first sentence is not necessarily true. So maybe babies can understand everything they say. We just don’t know.

Could be false. We don’t know that it’s possible to understand a word without knowing the dictionary definition. And even if we did, we don’t know that “any number of people” can understand without dictionary definition.

Could be false. We don’t know that babies understand words that might be understood without knowing the dictionary definition. Maybe some words can be understood by teenagers and adults, but not necessarily babies.

Could be false. If it’s possible to understand a word without knowing the dictionary definition, it still could be the case that we need to understand other words. The stimulus doesn’t tell us what happens if understanding doesn’t require knowing dictionary definitions.

Must be true. If some babies understand everything they say, and we know from the stimulus that they don’t know the dictionary definitions of those words, that means understanding does not require knowing the dictionary definition.
