Question #1691

I am still not understanding this question

The question stem asks what Must be True, so what has to be true given the information. Answer B claims she can go to country Y for 4 days, but she doesn't have to. She could go to country Z for four days and end up with the same result. X Y Z- 1 1 4. This could also be a possibility. So why Must answer B be true when it does not necessarily have to be true?

    You are correct, this is a Must Be True question but the correct answer choice is "can be true." So basically it is saying it must be true that this scenario is possible. Answer choice (B) says "Hannah can visit four cities in country Y." This must be true because, as you can see in the video explanation, Hannah CAN visit four cities in country Y. The answer choice is not saying Hannah MUST visit four cities, merely that she should BE ABLE TO. So, even though it's true that Hannah can also go to country Z for four days, the fact still stands that she always CAN go to country Y for four days. Therefore, answer choice (C) must be true. Hope that helped! Please let us know if you have any more questions.

    "answer choice (C) must be true" and answer choice (B) is the correct answer choice of which "must be true"? Is this a typo?
