Must be TrueDiff: Hard
Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: Science is getting more complicated, so more people are writing papers together. For example, when doctors from different hospitals or physicists from different labs work together, they all get credit on the final report.
Reasoning: Scientific inquiry is becoming more complex, leading to more multi-authored papers; specifically, clinical trials involving multiple hospitals and physics experiments using components from various labs usually result in coauthored reports.
Analysis: In a 'Must be True' scenario, we are looking for a deduction that is strictly supported by the provided facts. The stimulus establishes a correlation between the complexity of inquiry and the proliferation of multi-authored articles, then provides two specific examples of multi-institutional collaboration. Look for an answer that synthesizes these points—likely something indicating that papers involving multiple institutions or complex subsystems are frequently coauthored by multiple people.

Correct Answer
B
B restates the first domain-specific claim in must-be-true form: if such reports are usually coauthored, then most have multiple authors. That follows directly from “usually coauthored by physicians from each participating hospital.”
