Must be FalseDiff: Hardest

Logic Breakdown

Passage Summary: If you don't dislike someone, you'll be kind to them and want them to do well; also, you can't be totally happy around someone you dislike.

Reasoning: Kindness requires wanting someone to prosper; not disliking someone guarantees kindness; and disliking someone prevents being fully content.

Analysis: This stimulus sets up a chain of conditional requirements: Not Dislike → Kind → Want Prosper. It also states: Fully Content → Not Dislike. By transitive logic, if someone is fully content in another's presence, they must be kind to them and want them to prosper. To find what 'must be false,' look for a scenario that violates these links. For example, a statement claiming that two people who do not dislike each other are not kind to each other would directly contradict the counselor's rules.

If the counselor's statements are true, then which one of the following must be false?

Correct Answer
B
Fully content together implies Not Dislike, which implies Kind, which requires Want-to-prosper. So it cannot be that some fully content pairs “do not want each other to prosper.” B directly contradicts the derived chain and must be false.
