Must be FalseDiff: Hard
Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: There is a new law banning smoking at work to protect employees, but the law is written so that it can never be used to stop people from smoking in their own homes.
Reasoning: The law aims to protect workers from smoke, but its specific wording prevents it from ever being applied to smoking in private residences.
Analysis: For a 'Must be False' question, we are looking for a claim that the stimulus explicitly rules out. The commentator is very clear: the law *cannot* be interpreted as *ever* prohibiting smoking in homes. Therefore, any answer choice claiming that the law could be used to ban smoking in a home, or that a home could be classified as a 'workplace' under this law, must be rejected. We are looking for a direct violation of the rules established in the text.
