Lets see what all information is provided in the stimulus. As it is an "inference type" question, whatever information we have from the stimulus, only that information will be "restated or present" in the correct answer choice.
➼ Some of this year’s Faimount College graduates are eligible for the internship program with the district attorney’s office.
Say 100 students graduated from the Faimount College, out of these some, say 50, are eligible for the internship.
➼ Any person meeting the eligibility requirements for this program is likely to gain admission to the local law school if he or she applies, whether or not that person actually participates in the internship program.
These 50 graduates are likely to gain admission to the law school, if they apply. And that does not depend if anyone from these 50 did/did not do internship at the local school.
➼ However, only this year’s Faimount College graduates are eligible to participate in the internship program.
Only 50 graduates (some of 100 graduates) are eligible for the internship. No one else is eligible.
Summarize:
- 100 students graduated from the Faimount College, out of these some, say 50, are eligible for the internship.
These 50 graduates are likely to gain admission to the law school, if they apply. And that does not depend if anyone from these 50 did/did not do internship at the local school.
Only 50 graduates (some of 100 graduates) are eligible for the internship. No one else is eligible.
Quote:
Is it so? Is anyone from those 100 graduates are likely to gain admission? No. Only some graduates (that is 50 in our example) are likely. So, you can put this one to sleep.
Quote:
That's possible. But, does our argument provide this piece of information? Can we infer this from the information provided in the argument? Absolutely no! Stick to the information provided in the stimulus in the "inference type" questions.
Quote:
That actually is irrefutable as per our analysis. Will they get an admit is uncertain, but for sure some graduates out of 50 (in our case) are likely to gain admission if they apply. Thus, this information "can be inferred" and thus is the right answer.
Quote:
Can we really infer this? Maybe there are other eligible candidates too. Our stimulus expresses one "sufficient condition", i.e, some of the faimount graduates are eligible to apply for internship at law school, it is not necessarily an "necessary condition" for every other eligible candidate. We simply do not have that information presented in the stimulus. So, this can not be inferred.
Quote:
Again, it is not a necessary condition for one to be get an admit into the local law school. And even if it was in reality, we do not have that information in the stimulus presented thus this can not be inferred.
Hope it helps.
