QUESTION TYPE: Must Be True
FACTS:
- Almost all countries with one party have corrupt national governments.
- Some countries with several parties also have corrupt national governments.
- Every country with corrupt national governments has weak local governments.
ANALYSIS: We can combine statements 1 and 2 with 3 to make two additional deductions:
- Almost all countries with one party have weak local governments.
- Some countries with several parties have weak local governments.
___________
- We know this is false. Some countries with many parties are corrupt, and therefore they have weak local governments.
- CORRECT. This is true. Some countries with many political parties are corrupt, and therefore they have weak local governments.
- This is possible, but it doesn’t have to be true. Maybe all places with weak local governments are corrupt.
- We have no idea. Maybe only 5 countries out of ~200 have a single political party. That could mean most countries with weak local governments have many parties.
- We have no idea how many countries have just one party, and how many countries have many parties.
