Daily Drills 18 - Section 18 - Question 1

If the statements above are true, which one of the following can be properly inferred?

Just to understand the must be true question

From the intro to logical reasoning and the question asks if all the above are true along with the word inferred is what the stem was asking, making it a must be true question stem. Is this correct logical reasoning?

Hi @lamont, you're right, this would be a must be true question stem.

As you pointed out, when the stem asks something along the lines of "if all of the above are true" or "if the above statements are true" AND the question does not contain and "except" or directly ask "which must be false" the we are dealing with a must be true. The part that of the stem that uses the word "inferred" is just another way of asking which must be true.
