Quick Question PT 41 S3 Q10

Post by New_Spice180 » Thu Nov 03, 2016 8:42 pm

I was able to get the answer choice on this question, but the explanation of why answer C is wrong is interesting. On the Manhattan forums it states that it "must be true". The poster later states that if you are to take the statement " those who have the ability to fully concentrate are always of above average intelligence and contrapose it you get AAI (some)---> ~FC. I'm not sure as to where the "some came from is it from negating all to "not all"? Further clarification would be appreciated!

From this we can infer that AAI some FC. But it is possible that AAI many or even most ~FC.

Analogy: Those who have the ability to solve differential equations are of above-average intelligence. However, it could be (and is) true that many people of above-average intelligence are unable to solve them (and I am sure you know them).

So I disagree that it MBT, but the question is asking what CBT, and yes, "C" could be true.

The correct answer on the other hand directly contradicts FC --> AAI. It says FC some ~AAI.
That was my reasoning initially. I knew that it certainly COULD BE TRUE not that it must be true given the premises. Anyway, thanks for reinforcing my reasoning!
