According to me, the answer is E.....

We can't comment on a person who isn't high school dropout...

(A) Any person who drops out of high school will be unemployed, have a low-paying job, or have relatives with good business connections. [VALID]

(B) Any high school dropout who has neither a low-paying job nor relatives with good business connections will be unemployed. [VALID]

(C) Any employed person who has neither a low-paying job nor relatives with good business connections is not a high school dropout. [Valid but close]

(D) Any high school dropout who has a job that is not low-paying must have relatives with good business connections. [Valid]

(E) Any person who has relatives with good business connections and who is not a high school dropout must be employed at a job that is not low-paying. [Invalid - Can't comment on people who aren't dropout]

Any person who drops out of high school will be unemployed unless he or she finds a low-paying job or has relative with good business connections.

Which one of the following conclusions CANNOT be validly drawn from the statement above?

(A) Any person who drops out of high school will be unemployed, have a low-paying job, or have relatives with good business connections.

(B) Any high school dropout who has neither a low-paying job nor relatives with good business connections will be unemployed.

(C) Any employed person who has neither a low-paying job nor relatives with good business connections is not a high school dropout.

(D) Any high school dropout who has a job that is not low-paying must have relatives with good business connections.

(E) Any person who has relatives with good business connections and who is not a high school dropout must be employed at a job that is not low-paying.

Characteristics of a High school drop out can be either or mix of these ->
i) Will be unemployed
ii) Will be employed only with a low paying job
iii) Will have relatives with good business connections - (could be employed or unemployed)

A -> can be i) or ii) or iii)
B -> will be i) if high school drop out is not any of ii) or iii)
C -> If not i), not ii) and not iii) can not be a high school drop out
D -> if not ii) then only iii) can be true for a high school drop out
E -> Nothing can be drawn about people other than those who are high school dropouts as the argument doesn't mention anything about other people

Answer - E
