Must be TrueDiff: Easy
Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: If you cannot type, you cannot use a computer; if you cannot use a computer, you cannot use word processing software to write your essays.
Reasoning: The stimulus establishes two conditional links: a lack of keyboarding skills prevents computer use, and an inability to use a computer prevents using word processing programs for essays.
Analysis: This stimulus provides a transitive conditional chain: No Keyboarding Skills → No Computer Use → No Word Processing. In 'Must be True' questions, we are looking for a valid inference derived from this chain or its contrapositive. A valid inference would be that anyone without keyboarding skills cannot use word processing for essays. Conversely, the contrapositive tells us that anyone using word processing for essays must have computer skills and, by extension, keyboarding skills. Avoid any answer choices that try to flip the logic or negate both sides without switching them.
