- Which of the following conclusions can most properly be drawn if the statements above are true?
- Which of the following inferences (inference means the same thing as "must be true" on the test) is best supported by the statement made above? (Conclusions differ from inferences in that conclusions are the result of premises and inferences are something that must be true.)
