I am not 100% sure I follow your question, but let's just review it to be sure. The question stem you are given says "Each of the following statements must be false EXCEPT." This means that the one correct answer here will be the choice that is not necessarily false. That which is "not necessarily false" is that which "could be true." The four incorrect answers each must be false (or "cannot be true").
Hope this helps! Please let us know if we can answer any additional questions.

Hey boss! I was watching your weaken lecture and got tickled as heck! Although I truly needed a smile, I take the LSAT Monday, I thought you would want to know. At 0:40:20 you make a statement "only a moron would want to know." The problem is it may be on a loop, it repeats again at 0:40:33!
Funny!

I don't understand how the logical opposite of "must be false" is "not necessarily false". shouldn't it be "must be true" just like the opposite of false is true, the opposite of "must be false" is "must be true"

I don't think that is the proper way to look at the True vs. False concept. The question is saying out of the five answers which must be false except? This is where I didn't reason fully because I chose cannot be true which is the logical equivalent of must be false. Thus my answer said that all five were false. However, when I saw my mistake which was one answer had to be true. Reviewing the answer helped me see why the answer is could be true. The logical opposite of must be false is not necessarily false and the logical opposite of that is could be true.

Hi @Lamont, Good job breaking down this one. You're almost entirely right, I just wanted to correct your last sentence. The logical opposite of must be false is not necessarily false (correct), but could be true and not necessarily false are logical equivalents, not opposites.
So for Must be false except questions, we're looking for the answer option that could be true.
