Specific Terms?

Hi Elliott, thanks for the question. Knowing when to match variables is something that comes with experience, however a good rule of thumb is that whenever two terms share the same meaning, then it is a good opportunity to match them so we can have more flexibility in combining statements. Here we were given the term Smell Sweet and also No Scent. However, by virtue of having no scent, the flowers under discussion must also not smell sweet. For this reason we are able to match those variables. Answer choice A required us to make a couple of inferences from our chains. Roses -some- NOT SS -> NOT Worth growing And then additionally, we need to be aware that Roses -> PSD So PSD -some- not worth growing is a valid inference. To answer your question, as best as I can, it is possible for a rose not to smell sweet and have no scent which is exactly why we equated no scent to not sweet. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions or if you'd like me to elaborate further.

Thanks for the response. I follow your point...
