QUESTION TEXT: Essayist: Wisdom and intelligence are desirable…
QUESTION TYPE: Must Be False
FACTS:
- Wisdom and intelligence are both good.
- But you can have one but not the other.
- In fact, it may be that no one has both of these. This is based only on the essayist’s personal experience.
ANALYSIS: We don’t have much evidence. We only have the essayist’s personal experience. There are billions of people he did not meet.
The first two facts are true of everyone.
___________
- This could be true. We don’t know much about most people, we only know that the people the essayist met had either wisdom or intelligence, but not both.
- Same as A.
- This could be true. The essayist never met anyone like that, and maybe no one like that exists.
- CORRECT. This means, in plainer English: nobody is wise, and nobody is intelligent. This contradicts the essayist: he met many people who were either wise or intelligent, but not both.
- This fits with the essayist’s experience. He met many people that were wise or intelligent but not both.
