Classic example. A refresher for basic CR concepts :)
For main point questions repeat of premise is a wrong answer however repeat of conclusion is a valid answer.

From choices, A restates the premise and D restates major part of the conclusion. Hence D is correct.

Consider the following scenario:

The GPA of Amy is 4 and she is the captain
Now lets lower the GPA of Amy to 3.5

Still she has a GPA above the cut off, hence lowering the GPA does not have any effect on her being the captain until and uness her GPA does not go below 2.5

Hence we cannot conclude anything form this statement

Hope it helps!

In 'A'

" Students who don't maintain a 2.5 GPA can't participate in sports."

I have negated above option because it is mentioned "sports" whereas argument talking about school sports..
is these correct reasoning to eliminate option 'A' ?

Ya thats perfectly correct ... the premise talks about school sports specifically, whereas A talks about sports as a whole ... nice reasoning ... kudos to you :)

Only those students who maintain 2.5 grade point averages are allowed to participate in school sports. Amy is captain of the school's tennis team, so she must have at least a 2.5 GPA.

Which of the following statements best summarizes the main point of the above argument?


x ≥2.5 GPA => yo can get into Sports



Quote:
A) Students who don't maintain a 2.5 GPA can't participate in sports.

Wrong.
It is cannot be inferred that Students who have GPA > 2.5 cannot participate in sports.

Quote:
B) Amy is a good tennis player.

Wrong.
We don't know nothing in the passage states this

Quote:
C) The school should only require a minimum GPA of 2.0 to participate in sports.

Wrong.
We are given students maintain an average of 2.5 can participate , and Amy has a 2.5 GPA. Therefore , We should consider 2.5 GPA as bare minimum

Quote:
D) Amy has earned at least the minimum GPA required to participate on a school sports team.

Right.
This can be inferred as we have no other data point.

Quote:
E) Amy wouldn't be captain of the tennis team if her GPA were lower.

Wrong.
We aren't given any parameter for selection of captain.
