@Mazen,I would consider the "some" phrase in the second sentence to be
describing the investors who don't do any of their own research.
Here's how I'd break down the argument.
investors - m - >no research
no research - some - broker advice
no research - some - hunches
investors - some - sometimes research, sometimes not
investors - m - >profit
Remember that you can't combine two "some" statements. You also can't
combine a "most" statement with a "some" statement.
However, you can combine two "most" statements when the same item
appears on the sufficient side of both of the "most" statements.
We know that over half of investors do no research of their own, and
we also know that more than half of investors make money
investors - m - >no research
investors - m - >profit
so it has to be true that some investors who don't do any research of
their own make money.
(A) gives us this, so it's the correct answer.
Does this make sense? Let us know if you have any questions!
