    Hi @Kahanding, thanks for your post. This is a Must Be True question, and you can diagram the premises in the stimulus as follows: P: Unless our nation redistributes wealth, we will be unable to alleviate economic injustice . . . To diagram an "unless" statement, follow the following rules: (1) unless denotes the necessary condition, and (2) negate the other part of the statement (i.e., the sufficient condition). AEI ==> RW P: [If] we are unable to alleviate economic injustice, our current system will lead inevitably to intolerable economic inequities. not AEI ==> IEI P: If the inequities become intolerable, those who suffer from the injustice will resort to violence to coerce social reform. IEI ==> RV These statements, taken together, establish that a redistribution of wealth is *necessary* for the alleviation of economic injustice. This is answer choice (B). Answer choice (E) is incorrect because it states that the redistribution of wealth is *sufficient* for the alleviation of economic injustice.
