If a student passes the entry test, they can join the college. Sana joined the college. Which conclusion follows?
- A. Sana passed the entry test
- B. Sana did not pass the entry test
- C. Sana may or may not have passed the entry test
- D. The entry test was easy
Explanation
The statement says passing is sufficient for joining, not that it is the only route, so Sana might have joined through a quota, transfer or other channel. Concluding that she passed would be affirming the consequent, an invalid form. Watch carefully for the difference between sufficient and necessary conditions.
