QUESTION TEXT: Every student who walks to school goes…
QUESTION TYPE: Sufficient Assumption
CONCLUSION: Some students with part time jobs do not walk to school.
REASONING: If you walk to school, you go home for lunch.
ANALYSIS: The argument is currently incomplete. There’s no link between having a part time job and not walking to school.
But if we assume that some students with part time jobs don’t go home for lunch, then they must not walk to school either. Here’s how to draw it:
(Some) Part time job ➞ don’t go home for lunch ➞ don’t walk to school
We’re not told anything about students with part time jobs. So the right answer has to mention them in order to connect them to the conclusion.
___________
- This doesn’t tell us anything about students who do have part time jobs.
- This doesn’t help. We want to prove some students with jobs don’t walk to school. Going home for lunch doesn’t prove much; it’s not a sufficient condition for anything.
- Same as A.
- CORRECT. This does it. If you don’t go home for lunch, you don’t walk to school.
- This tells us nothing about students with part-time jobs.
