Absolutely.

At the very least, on the GMAT, it raises a question mark on ALL A being B.

Is there a specific question this type of thing caused an issue?

I sometimes get confused with words like

Some - out of 100 kids, some were involved in an activity - In this Does it mean number between 1 - 99 kids were involved in the act or 1 - 100 were involved

Often - Similar to the previous example - out of 100 times, i often did X - In this Does it mean between 1 - 99 times or 1 to 100 times i did this

My basic confusion is can words like Some and Often encapsulate the case of ALWAYS

Hi shauryahanda,

Syllogisms and Formal Logic are concepts that you would see on the LSAT, but they're incredibly rare on the GMAT (meaning that you will likely NOT see any prompts on the Official GMAT that require that you think in those specific ways to select the correct answer). Have you worked through any GMAT CRs during your studies so far that you think are ultimately based on understanding formal logic?
