Confused

I got E and also don't understand how the answer is A?

@Anna and @amandapaige, Happy to help. Let's go over the stimulus before looking at the answer choices. We can diagram the stimulus: unemployed artists - >sympathetic to social justice employed artist - >not interested in the prospect of great personal fame It helps to take the contrapositive of the second statement so that we have 'unemployed artist' in both statements unemployed artists - >sympathetic to social justice interested in the prospect of great personal fame - >unemployed artist We can link these up to form interested in the prospect of great personal fame - >unemployed artist - >sympathetic to social justice We know that if someone is interested in the prospect of great personal fame, they must be sympathetic to social justice The question asks, "If the claims made above are true, then which one of the following must be true?" Based on what we've already figured out, we can be almost certain that the answer will be that if someone is interested in the prospect of great personal fame, they must be sympathetic to social justice or its contrapositive. @amandapaige, you said you picked (E). (E) says, "All artists are either sympathetic to social justice or are interested in the prospect of great personal fame." (E) does not have to be true based on the stimulus. We know that employed artists don't care about personal fame, and there is the possibility that they also do not care or are sympathetic to social justice. Remember, the chain from the stimulus is interested in the prospect of great personal fame - >unemployed artist - >sympathetic to social justice If we take its contrapositive, we have not sympathetic to social justice - >employed artist - >not interested in the prospect of great personal fame. The contrapositive clearly shows that it's possible for an artist not to neither care about social justice or have an interest in personal fame, so (E) doesn't have to be true. We can get rid of this choice. (A) says, "If there are artists interested in the prospect of great personal fame, they are sympathetic to social justice." (A) is precisely what our anticipation was. Our chain is interested in the prospect of great personal fame - >unemployed artist - >sympathetic to social justice This triggers the sufficient condition and concludes the necessary condition of the chain we built from the stimulus, so this is the what must be true and is also the correct answer. Does this make sense? Let us know if you have any more questions!
