Question 15: If Freedom makes a voyage to Guadaloupe in week 1 and to Trinidad to week 2 which one of the following must be true?
0:16
Well first notice that we can manipulate our previous work from
0:22
fourteen rather quickly to satisfy the conditions set forth in the stem of question 15.
0:28
Again stating that Guadaloupe is going to be in week 1 in trinidad is in Week 2. Well we know
0:37
Martinique would be weak 3 Guadaloupe in 4 Jamaica, Martinique and then Trinidad. Again, coming directly from question 14.
0:46
This is a must be true question so any answer choice that isn't the case in
0:52
this hypothetical that we just drew out to the right again manipulating question
0:56
14's work is automatically eliminated because all I need is one
1:00
counterexample to disprove an answer choice in a must be true question.
1:05
So let's take a look here at (A). Freedom makes a voyage to Martinique in week 3.
1:10
Well we have that in our scenario to the right but again we don't know if that is
1:15
always the case. Right? This is a must be true question. All we've shown is
1:21
that it's possible. We haven't shown that it is necessarily the case no matter
1:26
what. So, let's take a look at the rest of the answer choices to see if we can
1:31
eliminate anything else
1:33
(B) Freedom makes a voyage to Martinique in week 4. Again you notice in our
1:37
scenario to the right here we have Guadaloupe in week 4. So (B) does not have to be
1:42
true.
1:43
(C) Freedom makes a voyage to Martinique in week 5. Again we have Jamaica so clearly that
1:49
doesn't have to be true. So (C) would be eliminated. (D) Freedom makes a voyage
1:55
to Guadaloupe in week 3. Again we've shown that it is Martinique in this scenario
2:00
so (D) doesn't have to be true. So (D) would be eliminated. (E) Freedom makes a voyage to
2:06
Guadalupe in week 5. Again, we've shown in this scenario its Jamaica. So
2:11
that would eliminate (E) and you notice without having to do any additional work
2:15
we can choose (A) as the
2:18
correct answer. Again coming from our hypothetical from question 14 we just
2:23
manipulated it a bit to make sure that we would satisfy the conditions set forth
2:27
in the stem of 15 that Guadalupe is in week 1 and Trinidad is in week 2.
