u2lover, PS please help me with this one ---

The question is pretty straightforward; however as i was reading the choices a thought crossed my mind - what if at least SOME physicians after joining the hospital picked up the latest menswear style? Although the passage does not suggest this explicity yet there's nothing stopping the physicians from doing so either and by this token some of the physicans MAY qualify to design the clothes as suggested in choice D - - some physicians MAY be asked ...

I am thoroughly confused..

u2lover · Answer

lets summarize the argument: 

1) Every Physician -> Med School
2) No Physician unaware of style -> Will model for mag
3) No Physician @ Med School -> Aware of style

now, if you change 2 and 3... looks like this

Every Physician ->   Med School  
No Physician @   Med School   -> Aware of style
No Physician unaware of style -> Will model for mag

thus... No physician will be asked to model... because they're unaware of style.

this argument is pretty clear as it doesn't say SOME... It explicitly says ALL (EVERY) or NONE... this is easier than having SOME in the argument.

 some people use letters A ->B, not B -> C... etc... I find those confusing, so I won't attempt using those, but if someone can show it here I would be happy to see it!

Easy A.
Took me a bit of time - was trying to find any trick to the question. Obviously none.

pelihu · Answer

I think the answer is fairly straightfoward; it should be A. Just need to take a bit of time to go through all the limitations language.

On a side note, I don't think I've seen this type of brain teaser in the real GMAT (I'm going by the OG).
