Example 5

Why is the format to solve this example different from what we got taught? Changing the format without an explanation is confusing me

Same!!! I was just about to post the same question/concern. I don’t understand why the format was different and the video did not explain it. The way I had originally formatted this question was with the rules of “some, most, all” and S&N. Please someone explain

Same, it seems like you all just did videos without referring back to what you have taught us. This is disappointing. Ans reviewers don't go into such detail about this, sigh.

From the stimulus, we have

Tulip-->older than any maple

Sycamore--most-->older than any maple

Maples-->older than dogwoods

So every tulip is older than every maple. Every maple is older than every dogwood. And we also know that most sycamores are older than all of the maples.

We can combine the first and third statements to conclude that every tulip is older than every dogwood.

Also, combining statements two and three, we can conclude that most sycamores are older than every dogwood.

Additionally, since every tulip is older than every maple, but only most sycamores are older than every maple, we know that there are some sycamores that are younger and all of the tulips.

This is how we arrive at E. We know that some sycamore are younger than all of the maples, and all of the maples are not as old as the youngest tulips. Thus, E has to be true.
