Question regarding B as the correct answer

Started by bonelle · started 2020-06-27 13:38 · last activity 2020-07-12 15:02 · 2 replies

I am confused why B is the correct answer because of the first sentence in the passage that says: "some people are Montagues and some people are Capules" I thought that this passage allowed for the possibility of a person being categorized as something else, because some indicates "at least one but not all". How do I know when something indicates at least one but not all and when the same word means "either one group or another"?

    Hi @bonelle, Thanks for the question! The confusion here might be that (B) isn’t actually the correct answer. The correct answer choice here should be (E), since Capulets aren’t Montagues, and people who aren’t Montagues are intemperate. As you point out, (B) doesn’t have to be true; there could be a third group of people. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
