Let's say that there are a half-dozen snakes hatched in North America that have the disease. Every one of them dies before reaching six months old; three escape their cages and are eaten by other pets, two of them are accidentally starved by inattentive owners, and the sixth dies from a disease completely unrelated to the one discussed in the question.Power Clean wrote:so why can't we infer that when one of those snakes hits six months with the disease it will die from it, if not sooner?
In this case, the scenario described in answer choice 'A' never comes to pass; none of the North American snakes died as a result of the liver disease at all. That's why I agree it's a bad question, *if* LSAC considers "can properly be inferred" to be identical to "must be true".
