Hi,
Every student who walks to school goes home for lunch. It follows that some students who have part-time jobs do not walk to school.
We can consider different scenarios such as:
1.Students who walk to school- Will go home for lunch
2.Students who do not walk to school:
a. Has Part time-Job-Will not go home for lunch
b. Do not have part time Job- i. Will go home for lunch & ii. Will not go home for lunch
The conclusion of the argument follows logically if which one of the following is assumed?
(A) Some students who do not have part-time jobs go home for lunch.--->
Incorrect-It is possible that students who do not have a part time job and does not walk to the school will not go home for lunch- i.e scenario-2-b-ii.(B) Every student who goes home for lunch has a part-time job.--->
Incorrect-"Some" part time student go home for lunch not every part time student
(C) Some students who do not have part-time jobs do not go home for lunch.--->
Incorrect- It is possible that students who do not have a part time job and walk to the school will go home for lunch- i.e scenario-2-b-i.(D) Some students who do not go home for lunch have part-time jobs.-->
Correct- As we are sure that some students who do not go home for lunch have part time job- i.e. scenario-2-a(E) Every student who goes home for lunch walks to school.--->
Incorrect- It is possible that students who do not walk to school go home for lunch. i.e. Scenario-2-b-iNote: Always pay attention to words such as some, none, all, every, most, many etc in the stimulus and choose answers which are not too extreme (all, every, none) until and unless these words are mentioned in the stimulusIs my reasoning correct?
Thanks!
