Must be TrueDiff: Hard

Logic Breakdown

Passage Summary: We are given two rules about artists: if they are unemployed, they care about social justice; if they are employed, they don't care about fame.

Reasoning: Every artist without a job supports social justice, and every artist with a job has no interest in becoming famous.

Analysis: This stimulus sets up two conditional statements that cover the entire population of artists, as one is either employed or unemployed. We can infer that any artist who is interested in fame must be unemployed (via the contrapositive of the second statement), and therefore that person must also be sympathetic to social justice. When looking for what 'must be true,' seek an answer that correctly connects these two conditional chains or applies a contrapositive. Don't be distracted by answers that try to link social justice and fame in ways the text doesn't support.
