OFFICIAL EXPLANATION



There are many types of audio speakers. For editing sound in movies or on music albums, sound technicians use studio speakers. Sound technicians always require an accurate representation of the sound they are working with.

Which of the following inferences is best supported by the statement made above?


A. Sound technicians use many types of audio speakers to edit the sound in movies or on music albums.

Incorrect.

This is an Inference question, so the argument is comprised of premises only, on which basis you are asked to draw a conclusion:

    Premise A: There are many types of speakers.
    +
    Premise B: As part of their job, sound technicians edit the sound in movies and on music albums. They always use studio speakers.
    +
    Premise C: Sound technicians need an accurate sound representation.
    =
    Conclusion: ?

This answer choice contradicts Premise B - sound technicians always use studio speakers, not many types of audio speakers.


B. Sound editing is an important factor in the production of a movie or music album.

Incorrect.

This answer choice provides a new premise rather than a conclusion supported by the premises.


C. If they were cheaper, studio speakers would not only be used by sound technicians but also by people wanting to listen to music at home.

Incorrect.

Premise B tells us that studio speakers have a specific use. We cannot assume that they would be appropriate for listening to music at home. Additionally, the argument does not mention cost so we cannot conclude anything based upon the price of the speakers.


D. Studio speakers are designed to provide an accurate reference of sound.

We are told that sound technicians always need accurate sound and that out of the many available speaker types, they always use studio speakers. We can conclude, therefore, that studio speakers provide what they need - accurate representation of sound.


E. Sound technicians that use studio speakers are the most successful sound editors of movies and music albums.

Incorrect.

This is an Inference question, so the argument is comprised of premises only, on which basis you are asked to draw a conclusion:

    Premise A: There are many types of speakers.
    +
    Premise B: As part of their job, sound technicians edit the sound in movies and on music albums. They always use studio speakers.
    +
    Premise C: Sound technicians need an accurate sound representation.
    =
    Conclusion: ?

Premise B tells us that all sound technicians use studio speakers to edit movies and albums, not just the most successful ones.

Which of the following inferences is best supported by the statement made above?

Premise 1: sound technicians use studio speakers
Premise 2: sound technicians always require an accurate representation of the sound

Pre thinking: sound speakers provide an accurate representation of the sound


Quote:
A. Sound technicians use many types of audio speakers to edit the sound in movies or on music albums.

This answer choice is speculating besides the boundaries of premises provided. We do not have any clue based on the information given whether sound technicians use many types of audio speakers

Quote:
B. Sound editing is an important factor in the production of a movie or music album.

Might be true based on common sense but the information in the passage does not provide any support for such an inference.

Quote:
C. If they were cheaper, studio speakers would not only be used by sound technicians but also by people wanting to listen to music at home.

Might be true but the information in the passage does not provide any support for such an inference.

Quote:
D. Studio speakers are designed to provide an accurate reference of sound.

Matches precisely the answer derived during pre thinking. Correct!


Quote:
E. Sound technicians that use studio speakers are the most successful sound editors of movies and music albums.

Speculation :) no premises provided to support such a claim
