This an inference question 1) if you vvant memebership --> vvroth > 10 billion 2) no connections to the entertainment industry. Chase, has been accepted to the club --> he has 5 billion $ and no connections to the entertainment industry. E nehadass wrote: Q.

E. Chase has not financed any Hollywood movies. For me is not a good question. What is the source ?? back to the question by POE I would say E A) nothing in the question tals about preapproved B) Country club knows all members (note the word must) C) ex business partner - who cares of ex D) brother - who cares of his brother E) right answer even though I can't figure out why properly?? The access criteria to the club are : $ AND no connection

from the stem you know that Chase is admitted to the club if have 10 > billion of $ and (PLUS) no connection to the entertainment industry From E you can infer only the second point and the first one ??? he has only 5 billion of dollars so the answer should be formulated in another way.

E. Chase has not financed any Hollywood movies. Brown County Club-Membership Requirements i)Net worth > USD 10 mnAND ii)No connections to the entertainment industry
Chase satisfies the first conditions (Chase's net worth is USD 5 bn>the requirement ,USD 10 mn) The only thing which could have been possible that he had no link with entertainment industry,because hollywood film financing will give him link-ups with the entertainment industry.(E) wins.
