Must be TrueDiff: Hardest

Logic Breakdown

Passage Summary: The planning committee includes construction industry representatives with financial stakes, and while many members work in the suburbs, none of them actually live there.

Reasoning: The passage establishes that some committee members represent the construction industry and have financial interests, no members live in the suburbs, and many members work in the suburbs.

Analysis: In a 'Must be True' scenario, we need to find a deduction that is logically unavoidable based on the provided facts. Since the construction industry representatives are a subset of the planning committee, and the passage explicitly states that *no* committee member lives in the suburbs, it follows that those specific representatives do not live in the suburbs. We cannot make definitive claims about where they work, as the 'many' qualifier doesn't guarantee that every subgroup is included. The residency rule, however, is an absolute 'no,' making it a reliable source for an inference.
