Logic Breakdown

Passage Summary: We have groups of students: literature and rhetoric students stay away from physics, but some physics students are also in art class.

Reasoning: The text establishes that literature and rhetoric students do not take physics, while some physics students do take art.

Analysis: To solve this, treat the groups like a Venn diagram. We know the 'Physics' circle is completely separate from the 'Literature' and 'Rhetoric' circles. However, we are told there is an overlap between 'Physics' and 'Art.' This means those specific students in the overlap—the ones taking both Physics and Art—must follow the rules of the Physics group. Therefore, those specific Art students cannot be taking Literature or Rhetoric. Look for an answer that identifies this specific subset of Art students.
