Moving on to Question 9, If Greed is shown exactly three times, Harvest is shown exactly
0:13
twice, and Limelight is shown exactly once, which of the following must be true?
0:17
They're telling us Greed is coming three times, Harvest twice, and Limelight exactly once,
0:27
which of the following must be true? So let's draw out our hypothetical here.
0:32
We know that if Greed is showing up on all three days, we're going have Greed show up
0:39
on Thursday, then we're going to have Greed show up on Friday, and on Saturday. Since
0:47
we know that if Greed is on Friday and Saturday, on Friday we can't have L, it must be H. On
0:56
Saturday it can't be H, so we must have L. Then we need to place one more H, which would
1:03
be as follows.
1:06
But notice that that is not the only possibility. We have one more possibility where we could
1:13
actually have all three variables show up on Thursday when we know H would have to be
1:22
the last variable, and then, G and L doesn't matter. The order is not relevant between
1:27
them. Then, again, we know that, we're going to have G and H on Friday, and then, we'll
1:34
just place G by itself on Saturday, and that is also a valid scenario.
1:39
Now, we're looking for, again, what must be true. (A), All three films are shown on
1:44
Thursday. While that's definitely possible, you notice it doesn't have to be true because
1:50
in our first scenario we only had two films on Thursday, so (A) is eliminated. Again,
1:55
it must be a true question, means that one counter example would disprove it as a possibility.
2:01
Moving to (B), Exactly two films are shown on Saturday, and, again, you notice in
2:06
our second option here, we only have one film, Greed, on Saturday, so (B) does not have to
2:12
be true, and (B) would be eliminated.
2:14
(C), Limelight and Harvest are both shown on Thursday, and, again, you noticed in
2:19
our first scenario, we don't have limelight on Thursday. We only have Greed and Harvest,
2:25
so (C) does not have to be true and (C) would be eliminated.
2:28
(D), Greed is the only film shown on Saturday. Again, in our first scenario we had Limelight
2:34
with Greed on Saturday, so (D) does not follow, which means that (E) would be the correct
2:40
answer by process of elimination. You should notice as well that Harvest and Greed are
2:46
both shown on Friday in both of these scenarios.
2:52
So (E) here must be true and (E) would be the correct answer.
