Statement #4

Statement #4: WC-most- GH Reversing the most statement will result in: GH- some- WC My question is: Can we now reverse the “some” statement again to also conclude: WC-some- GH? I believe we can, but I’m not 100% sure because the statement started off as a “most” statement.

Hi @ssquare,

Thanks for the question! Yes, we can reverse the some statement again to conclude that

WC <—some—> GH

You can think of “most” statements as implying “some” statements. For example, if most stuffed animals are cute, then some stuffed animals are also cute by definition, since most of them are cute, and most of them can’t be cute unless some of them are cute.

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
