Here are the diagrams I was able to draw from this stimulus.
P: RP - - - - > AW
P: not RP - - - - > AWT
C: P - - - - > not RP
I suppose you could add to the conclusion: P - - - - -> not RP - - - - -> AWT
Is this where you saw the need for a transitive chain? If so, this is perfectly valid inference to draw. It just doesn't end up being useful for the answer choices. I wouldn't have written it like this initially. But, if an answer choice had said "Progress depends on people who persist in trying to adapt the world to themselves," then the transitive statement might help me to see that this must be true.
