QUESTION TYPE: Must be True
FACTS:
Here is a summary of what we know. You can combine each of the statements together, and also the contrapositives:
- Thorny Seedpods ➞ Curled Leaves ➞ White Flowers or Long Stems ➞ Fuzzy Seeds
- Fuzzy Seeds ➞ Long Stems AND White Flowers ➞ Curled Leaves Thorny Seedpods
ANALYSIS: Since the specimen has curled leaves, it must have white flowers and no fuzzy seeds.
It may or may not have thorny seedpods, since they are a sufficient condition for curled leaves. We can only make deductions in the directions of the arrows.
Long stems are not a sufficient condition for anything. All we know is lack of long stems means no fuzzy seeds.
___________

- Same as A.
- CORRECT. This is it.
- The specimen lacks fuzzy seeds, but it could have thorny seedpods.
