   Why this is right

   This matches the missing link we predicted: keep --> didn't take good P succ 4 granted Here's what we knew: Marian had to struggle early. If you struggle early, you keep a good perspective. Here's what our brains need to think, when we synthesized those two claims: Okay, so Marian keeps a good perspective. According to this answer choice, If you keep a good perspective, you don't take success for granted. So now what can we say about Marian? Marian doesn't take success for granted. Oh, snap, we just proved the conclusion.

   Anyone who is able to keep a good perspective on the world has to struggle

   This answer doesn't provide a rule that lets us conclude that someone "does not take success for granted". The evidence didn't give us such a rule, so if an answer choice doesn't provide one that we'll have no way to logically prove a conclusion claiming that someone did not take success for granted. Mathematically, if you ask me to prove that a = x, my proof has to involve claims about both 'a' and 'x'. An answer choice without "does not take success for granted" is thinking we can prove "a = x" without ever mentioning "x".

   We need a rule that allows us to prove that someone "does not take success for granted". This answer choice looks like this: does not take success ? struggled early for granted We can only prove what's on the Right side of any conditional statement, so this is functionally useless to us. We know that Marian struggled early, but knowing the Outcome (the right side) of a rule is true tells you nothing. Had this answer been written Anyone who struggled early does not take success for granted ... it would have been correct, since know that Marian struggled early, and thus could now prove that she did not take success for granted.
