A,B,D,E are all focussed on one thing difference b/w black and white.
C seems to be the best choice.

whats the OA ?

B will be my choice...

I am with E on this monster.. nverma...pls OA

IMO B

First I went with C, but after carefully observing :"existentialists " Vs "Existentialism", I realised that I am standing over "Shell Mine". I quickly ran towards B, and finding it better.
Whats the OA.

B for me as well

Feel B is correct one

Existentialists :people who believe the philosophy that every individual is responsible for his or her own development
Conclusion- existentialists are right that we are alone
proof is obvious
Premise 2 - you see black where every one saw white vise versa.
premise 3- Nevertheless (meaning still) , you will call perceived black as white (since you are taught to call it white) & vice versa, and will never discover the error

To sum it up : even though you see black instead of white (as it is seen by others) , you will still call it white because this is how you are taught. This is proves that existentialist's claim that we are alone is right.

Now we have understood the argument , lets see what we can infer.
We will start weighing each choice, however we shall keep following in mind:-
1.inference shall not come straight from the argument , something must be deduced.
2.No new information is allowed.
3.We shall not infer much and shall not go a step beyond the argument.

A. Some people are born with reversed perceptions of black and white, and they cannot discover this.
Color perception is just an hypothetical example , used in the argument, to drive home the point that what we perceive might not be true. Therefore it will be wrong to infer much about the hypothesis.

B.People with reversed perceptions of black and white would not choose their words any differently from anyone else.

Very confusing , looks good , let us test every word.
It seems to be out of scope, argument clearly states that a person is taught to call some color as white or black, inferring what a person would like to call , will be going step ahead , as argument has settled the case by suggesting that person calls a color , what he or she is taught to call that color.

However choice B can be considered an assumption.

C.Existentialism is a sound philosophy, as is amply demonstrated by the physiology of color perception.

This option can be safely deduced from the the argument, since existentialists are right it can be inferred that the philosophy is also sound.

We only inferred that if believers of one philosophy are right , than the philosophy might be sound.
This is the essence of inference question , infer as little as possible.

D.The existentialists claim that some people are born with reversed perceptions of black and white.

Same problem as in case of choice A, Color perception is just an hypothetical example.
Moreover existentialists never claimed anything regarding color perception , this premise (color perception0 is introduced by author to support conclusion.

E.The existentialists claim that people mean different things when they use the words “black” and “white.”
Again existentialists never claimed any thing regarding what people perceive , it is introduced as an example to support the conclusion that existentialists are right.

IMO answer is C, hope its right
