Must be TrueDiff: Medium

Logic Breakdown

Passage Summary: Most cats like the cold-ish outdoors, but Jamil's cat is on a strict leash: it only goes out if a human is with it, and the humans only go out if it's hot or sunny.

Reasoning: Jamil's cat only goes out if a family member is out; family members only go out if it is hot or the sun is shining.

Analysis: This is a conditional logic puzzle. We can chain the requirements together: Cat Outside → Family Member Outside → (Hot OR Sunny). To find the correct inference, we must follow this chain or its contrapositive. For instance, if it is neither hot nor sunny, we can conclude the family is inside, and therefore the cat is inside. Be careful not to fall for the 'Most cats' distractor at the start; the specific rules for Jamil's cat are what will dictate the 'Must be True' answer. If the cat is out, someone is definitely getting some vitamin D or sweating.
