PrepTest 82, Section 3, Question 23
Inventor: All highly successful entrepreneurs have as their main desire the wish to leave a mark on the world. Highly successful entrepreneurs are unique in that whenever they see a solution to a problem, they implement that idea. All other people see solutions to problems but are too interested in leisure time or job security to always have the motivation to implement their ideas.

If the inventor's statements are true, which one of the following must also be true?
Most people do not want to leave a mark on the world because trying to do so would reduce their leisure time or job security.
All people who invariably implement their solutions to problems have at least some interest in leisure time or job security.
The main desire of all people who implement solutions whenever they detect them is to leave a mark on the world.
Generally, highly successful entrepreneurs' interests in leisure time or job security are not strong enough to have a negative impact on their ability to see solutions to problems.
All people whose main desire is to implement their solutions to problems leave a mark on the world.
Explanations
This isn't an argument, just a set of fun facts. Let's break down each idea one at a time.
First, if you are a highly successful entrepreneur, then your main desire is to leave a mark on the world. Got it.
Second, if you are a highly successful entrepreneur, then if you see a problem, you implement the solution. Moreover, you're unique in this way—anyone who is not a highly successful entrepreneur doesn't do this every single time.
Third, if you are not a highly successful entrepreneur, then you see solutions to problems, but you're either too leisurely or focused on job security (or, implicitly, both) to always find the motivation to implement the solution(s).
We're asked what else must be true. This is going to be difficult to predict, but if nothing else, I see a clear connection between the three ideas: if you always implement a solution when you see a problem, then your main desire is to leave a mark on the world.
Follow me here: We know what happens when you're a highly successful entrepreneur—you implement solutions. We also know what happens when you're not—you fail to implement at least some of the time. So, if you always implement, then you must be highly successful, which means your main goal is leaving a mark on the world.
Let's go find it.
Nope, this doesn't have to be true.
No, we have no way of knowing how much leisure time highly successful entrepreneurs are interested in.
Perfect. If you always implement, then you're a highly successful entrepreneur, which means your main desire is leaving a mark. This is the answer.
Nah. I have no clue as to what extent distractions take away from entrepreneurs' capacities to spot problems in the first place.
Nope. We don't know that if you have a desire to leave a mark, then you're highly successful. We just know if you're highly successful, then you desire to leave a mark.
