the option B states that "Some healthcare professionals are not less skilled at finance than is the average management professional who does not work in a healthcare field" which means " some healthcare professionals are skilled at finance than is the average management professional who does not work in healthcare field" . There are double negative in the above sentence which I have highlighted. So, doesn't the option is weakening?
Please help me understand. Thanks in advance

I think the question should be what can be inferred, not "concluded".

Thank you for the question.

Sometimes concluded and inferred can be tricky to assign and sometimes (i feel) they can be almost interchangeable but there is a difference. Here is a quick guide I follow: conclude - more immediate and logical. Infer - a more distant conclusion if that makes sense.

In Conclude you're drawing a direct, logical conclusion from what's stated in the argument.

Infer is more about reading between the lines and making connections that aren't directly spelled out.

Since the question asks you to pick a statement that directly follows from the Financial Analyst's points, concluded is the better choice.

Hi. It looks like there's a mixup in your statement about the double negative in Answer Choice B.

The option says, "Some healthcare professionals are not less skilled at finance than is the average management professional who does not work in a healthcare field." This phrase effectively means that some healthcare professionals are at least as skilled in finance as the average non-healthcare management professional. It doesn't necessarily imply they are more skilled, just not less skilled.

I don’t quite agree with the solution. While i understand the solution i don't agree with the reasons stated. I feel that more plausible explanation would be that the correct answer uses language in a very balanced manner - words like "some", "average", avoids any sort of extreme statement, allowing it to be most true among the options.
