Isn't the word "Only" helping to quantify the amount of profits companies make that are attributable to good management and NOT being used to introduce "Necessary" in a sufficient & necessary condition sentence?? Thus, it is a Quantifier sentence & NOT a sufficient & necessary condition sentence. Here is how I diagrammed. Am I wrong? PCM-some-DAGMD DAGMD-some-PCM PCM-most-not DAGMD not DAGMD-some-PCM "Thus, even companies that are managed badly will usually turn a profit." C: CMB====>UTP not UTP====>not CMB I concluded: Flawed reasoning but not like the passage. Answer choice (A) is correct, Am I right? Thank-you.

    @rockinrobinpa you are absolutely correct. Naz made a mistake there. I have updated her response accordingly. However, your diagram of your conclusion is incorrect. "Even companies that are managed badly will usually turn a profit" is not a Sufficient & Necessary statement. It is saying that some companies that are managed badly will also turn a profit. Hope that helps! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
