Must be TrueDiff: Hardest
Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: Albarran's oil paintings are all very unique, but she only started making unique art late in her life. Also, her abstract art generally isn't very unique.
Reasoning: All of Albarran's oil paintings are highly original; however, she did not produce any highly original works until late in her career, and most of her abstract works lack originality.
Analysis: In a 'Must be True' scenario, we are looking for a deduction that is logically unavoidable based on the provided facts. Since all oil paintings are original, and originality only appeared late in her career, it follows that all her oil paintings must have been created late in her career. Furthermore, because most abstract works are not original, we can conclude that most abstract works are not oil paintings. Look for an answer choice that connects these overlapping categories of timing, medium, and originality.
