Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: In a room full of bankers, athletes, and lawyers, every single banker is also an athlete. Also, none of the lawyers are bankers.
Reasoning: We are given two rules: every banker in the room is also an athlete, and there is no overlap between the group of lawyers and the group of bankers.
Analysis: We need to find a statement that is logically guaranteed by these two rules. We know Bankers are a subset of Athletes, and Lawyers are completely separate from Bankers. However, we don't know the relationship between Lawyers and Athletes—they could overlap, or they could be separate. Look for an answer that avoids making assumptions about the lawyers and athletes and sticks strictly to the 'All B are A' and 'No L are B' constraints. This is a classic formal logic exercise.

C must be true. At least one banker is present; all bankers are athletes and no bankers are lawyers, so some athlete (that banker) is not a lawyer.
