Quantifiers

With regards to the quantifier, I had it written out as A-most-LINA (Less insightful than reasonably well educated non-artists etc. ) The proper reversal would be: LINA-some-A Is it acceptable to reverse this "some" statement again to say A-some-LINA? Which, is what E appears to say.

Hi Malen, thanks for the question.

While your conversion of the most statement to a some statement is correct. It still wouldn't give us the answer on its own because your new quantifier statement says that some artists are less insightful than any reasonably well educated non-artists.

However, answer choice E says that there are some who are NO less insightful. This is the key difference.

We can infer this because if it is rare that artists have political insight, meaning that in some cases they must.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions or would like me to elaborate further.
