Must be TrueDiff: Medium
Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: Doctors think they are immune to the influence of free gifts from drug companies, but they think their coworkers are totally falling for it.
Reasoning: Survey data shows that while most doctors believe they are personally immune to the influence of gifts from drug companies, they believe most of their colleagues are susceptible to that same influence.
Analysis: Since this is a 'Must Be True' question, we need to find a mathematical or logical certainty based on the overlapping groups. If the majority of doctors think they are fine but the majority of doctors think others are influenced, there must be a group of doctors who are mistaken about either themselves or their peers. Look for an answer that highlights this contradiction in perception—specifically, that at least some doctors are wrong about the influence of gifts. It's a classic case of 'everyone thinks they're the exception to the rule.'
