#24 - Human resources director: While only

[Bluestem0000]

Hi,
I have a question about the term, "few". as it is used in the phrase, "few veteran employees". Is "few" not an indicator word for "some"? Just want to clarify so I don't make this mistake again. While solving this question, I thought the premise about the veterans was SLI VE instead of SLI VE .

Hi Bluestem0000!

Your diagram using the some indicator is close, but I think what it makes it not as ideal is the language of "only" in the stimulus. The stimulus states that "the only workers who consider stress level an important factor in choosing a job are a few veteran employees." This means that if you have someone who considers stress level an important factor, then you know that person is a veteran employee. The diagram using the some arrow seems to leave open the possibility that others besides veteran employees might consider stress level an important factor, but we know that's not true based on the stimulus.
