Answer choices, explained

1. A

   Too Specific: most people10% picked this

   Most people do not want to leave a mark on the world because trying to do so would reduce their

   We don't have any information in the passage about what's true of 51% or more of people, so I would stop reading this after the first two words. There's no way to relate "most people" to whether or not they're a highly successful entrepreneur, because we aren't told what proportion of the population is or isn't a highly successful entrepreneur.

   Unsupported Relationship5% picked this

   All people who invariably implement their solutions to problems have at least some interest in leisure

   Do we know anything about all people who invariably implement their solutions? Yes, those people are highly successful entrepreneurs (this might feel like it's reading backwards, but since we were told that highly successful entrepreneur's are unique in this capacity, we know that everyone else doesn't do it)

   Why this is right

   Do we know anything about all people who implement solutions whenever they detect them? Yes, those people are highly successful entrepreneurs (this might feel like it's reading backwards, but since we were told that highly successful entrepreneur's are unique in this capacity, we know that everyone else doesn't do it) Do we know whether the main desire of all highly successful entrepreneurs is to leave a mark on the world? Yes! The first sentence told us that. If you're determined to diagram your way to the answer, then the important part of the stimulus would have been the unique, which made a bi-conditional of the second rule. highly successful entrepreneur ? always implement solution as well as always implement solution ? highly successful entrepreneur. Since we also knew that highly successful entrepreneur ? main desire is leave mark We could chain those together and get: always highly main desire implement ? successful ? leave mark solution entrepreneur on world

   Skill tested: Must be True · how this choice captures the argument's function is the move to repeat next time.

   Out of Scope: negative impact21% picked this

   Generally, highly successful entrepreneurs’ interests in leisure time or job security are not strong enough to have a negative impact on their

   This might seem like a reasonable speculation, but all we know about highly successful entrepreneurs is that WHEN / IF they see a solution, they always implement it. This answer is talking about whether their ability to see a solution is sometimes impaired. It might be. That's perfectly compatible with the passage. When Elon Musk goes to his private island for a Ski-ball tournament with Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, this leisure time might compromise their ability to see solutions to problems. However, IF they eventually see a solution, they will all be sure to implement it.
