NO. QUESTION 1 The conditions to access the company's secure network are both having a valid security badge and logging in using their unique password. If an employee lacks either or both of these conditions, they cannot access the network. The statement in option C correctly reflects this requirement by stating that without both a valid security badge and a unique password, access to the network is impossible. Option C is the correct answer. 2 Evelyn's statement: "If someone is giving a presentation at the Annual Flower Festival, it could be a botanist." This is correct because it is stated that botanists always attend the Annual Flower Festival and give presentations about their latest research there. Mark's statement: "Gardeners are among the invitees to the Annual Flower Festival." This is also correct because it is stated that every gardener is invited to the Annual Flower Festival. Therefore, both Evelyn and Mark have correct reasoning. Option C is the correct answer. 3 A. This statement must be true because one of the criteria is that a player must have played in at least 20 games during the season. If a player has not met this criterion, they cannot be selected. B. This statement is not necessarily true. Averaging 15 points per game does not guarantee selection, as there are other criteria that must also be met. C. This statement is a misinterpretation of criterion 3. Having at least 5 assists per game is necessary but not sufficient on its own; other criteria must also be met. D. This statement directly contradicts criterion 5, which states that a player must not have been suspended during the season. Option A is the correct answer. 4 The correct answer is Option B. In accordance with the third condition, most students who picked Languages also picked Maths AND History. This means that it is true that some students have picked three different subjects. Option B is the correct answer. 5 The original statement says that "whenever a student graduates with honours, they must have both excellent grades and extracurricular achievements." This means that lacking extracurricular achievements would make it impossible for Emily to graduate with honours. Option D is the correct answer. 6 Taylor's statement: "If someone is displaying their new works at the Annual Art Exhibition, it could be a photographer." This is correct because photographers always participate in the exhibition and display their new works. Morgan's statement: "Sculptors are among the invitees to the Annual Art Exhibition." This is incorrect because sculptors have their own showcase and it is not stated that they are invited to the Annual Art Exhibition, ©Scholarly 2025. All rights reserved.

11 The statement of option D is the contrapositive statement of the question statement, so it is true. Option D is the correct answer. 12 The original statement specifies that an athlete "always needs both talent and discipline" to win. Therefore, lacking discipline would make it impossible for Sarah to have won an Olympic gold medal. Option D is the correct answer. 13 The original statement says that "In situations where a person becomes a millionaire, they must have either a successful business or a large inheritance." This sets these conditions as necessary but not sufficient for becoming a millionaire. Therefore, even if Mark meets one of these conditions, it doesn't guarantee that he must become a millionaire. Hence, statement D cannot be true. Option D is the correct answer. 14 Statement-I is the inverse statement of the given statement, so it is not true. Statement-II is the converse statement of the given statement, so it is not true. The conclusion of Statement-III is contradictory to the given statement, so it is not true. We cannot be sure for Statement-IV. Option D is the correct answer. 15 Option D suggests that if Alex meets the criteria of having exactly 80% attendance and being a senior, he is ©Scholarly 2025.

"certainly" the Student Council President. However, the initial statement only establishes these conditions as prerequisites for the presidency, not as an automatic qualification. It's possible for other students to also meet these criteria without all of them being the president. Thus, while the conditions are necessary for Alex to be the president, they aren't sufficient to guarantee it. Option D is the correct answer. 16 With the given diagrams, we can’t be certain if there is a connection between apples and cakes or if there is none. Therefore, neither of the conclusions follows as their statements are just possibilities that are not proven, Option D is the correct answer. 17 None of the assumptions follow because a school is not the only place where children can learn, and it is not only in prestigious universities where skilled and educated professionals are produced. Option D is the correct answer. 18 Most luxurious brands are owned by rich people. Converse may or may not be true. So, Sheila's statement is not true. All luxurious brands are expensive. Converse may not be true. So, Sarah's statement is not true. Option A is the correct answer. 19 Sam's statement: "If someone is debuting their new songs at the Summer Music Festival, it could be a rock musician." This is correct because rock musicians always perform at the festival and debut their new songs. Alex's statement: "Classical musicians are among the invitees to the Summer Music Festival." This is also correct because every classical musician is invited to the festival. Therefore, both Sam and Alex have correct reasoning. Option C is the correct answer. ©Scholarly 2025.
