Hello, I'm not sure where the connection is for answer A. How to we connect from the second conclusion that Pleasant-Some- SFWP, to the answer which states that some parrots that SFWP, are ST?

    Hi @pmornelasperez@ucdavis.edu, Thanks for the question! So all we need to get to the conclusion for this question are the first sentence and the second sentence. So we know that all parrots can learn to speak a few words and phrases. In other words Parrot —> Can learn to speak Now what does the second sentence tell us? Well, the relevant part is that “some of those native to Australia can be counted on for a sweet temper.” In other words Parrot & Native to Australia <—some—> Can be counted on for a sweet temper But remember, ALL parrots can learn to speak. So if it’s a parrot and native to australia, it can also learn to speak. So we can also say Parrot & Native to Australia & Can learn to speak <—some—> Can be counted on for a sweet temper And that’s just a subset of parrots that can learn to speak, so we can also say Parrot & Can learn to speak <—some—> Can be counted on for a sweet temper And that’s what gets us to (A). Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
