Must be TrueDiff: Medium
Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: A professor believes you need special training to judge if a book is great, and she knows most people don't have that training.
Reasoning: Accurately judging literary greatness requires years of specialized training; most of the reading public lacks this training; literature professors possess this training.
Analysis: This stimulus sets up a conditional relationship: If you can accurately judge literary greatness, then you must have had years of specialized training. We are then told that the vast majority of the public does not have this training. By applying the contrapositive, we can conclude that the vast majority of the public cannot accurately judge the greatness of literary works. Look for an answer that reflects this logical deduction.
