Incorrect. The stimulus talks about what the main goals are of two different groups—those groups could find other goals as important, as well.

Incorrect. The stimulus compares the sharpness of vision between two groups. That doesn't allow us to infer that the group with less sharp vision has inadequate vision.

Correct. Argument or Facts:
Facts

Question Type:
Must Be True

Stimulus Summary:
Group 1: Play out of love; sharper vision
Group 2: Play to win; less sharp vision
Focus on an activity increases concentration, which is necessary for sharper vision

Answer Anticipation:
This stimulus is all about the comparison between those who play primarily out of love and those who play primarily to win. We know that the former group has sharper vision than the latter, and sharper vision is a result of focus and concentration. To finish the comparison, then, it must be the case that those who play out of love have greater focus/concentration than those who play to win.

Answer Explanation:
This answer choice is a comparison between the relevant groups, and it matches our anticipation. If concentration on the activity itself (the sport itself) leads to sharper vision, then the group with sharper vision is concentrating more on the sport itself.

Key Takeaway:
In Must Be True questions, a stimulus that revolves around comparisons will frequently have a comparison in the correct answer. Additionally, be wary of answers that say something is "impossible," or that it "always" or "never" happens.

Incorrect. It's very rare for a Must Be True question to have a correct answer that's this strong ("impossible"). This answer also doesn't connect concentration to focus or success, so it's possible that these athletes can concentrate on multiple things, it just hurts their performance.

Incorrect. While the argument does establish that those focused on the sport itself will have more of the concentration necessary to have sharper vision, there's no guarantee that the sharper vision always leads to better performance.
