Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: Serious students tend to be happy and usually head to grad school. Everyone in grad school is working too hard.
Reasoning: Most serious students are happy, most serious students go to graduate school, and all graduate students are overworked.
Analysis: This is a classic 'overlap' problem involving 'most' statements. If more than half of serious students are happy and more than half go to graduate school, there must be at least some serious students who fall into both categories. Since every single person in graduate school is overworked, those overlapping students are also overworked. Look for an answer that synthesizes these facts, such as 'some overworked students are happy' or 'some serious students are overworked.'
