Any recycling center that recycles wood also recycles newsprint.
Every kind of material that Center 2 recycles is also recycled at Center 1.
Only one of the recycling centers recycles plastic, and that recycling center does not recycle glass.
If each recycling center in Rivertown recycles exactly three kinds of material, then which one of the following could be true?
Only Center 2 recycles glass.
Only Center 3 recycles newsprint.
Only Center 1 recycles plastic.
Only Center 3 recycles tin.
Only Center 1 recycles wood.
Explanations
Yeah, hate to break it to you, but the car isn’t the issue here. You are. Specifically, you driving it recklessly. The “research” you did probably doesn’t show that driving a minivan/sedan causes fewer accidents. It probably just shows a correlation between driving a minivan and not driving recklessly.
Yup, this is a classic correlation-causation issue. Minivans having lower accident rates is a correlation. This does not mean that driving one will cause your accident rate to decrease.
Sample size isn’t mentioned so this can’t be proven.
The conclusion is that it would “lower my risk,” not “make my risk 0%.”
No, there isn’t a confusion of sufficient for necessary here.
Can you prove that from the passage? If no, then you can’t pick this answer choice.
