Question Stem Classification Drill #5

[apierre07]

Hi
I was wondering if there was an error on page 124 question #5 of the Logic Games Bible? I was thinking the answer should be switched around. If this isn't a typo, is there a further explanation for the reasoning behind this answer?

Thank you!

Hi,

That's a good question. The question stem in that example is as follows:

Each of the following must be false EXCEPT:

That means that all five of the answers, EXCEPT for one, must be false.
In other words, four of the answer choices must be false.
That means those four answer choices cannot be true.
Those four answer choices that cannot be true will be the wrong answer choices.
The correct answer choice will be the one exception--the answer that could be true.

This stuff can be tricky--that's why they do it! Please let me know whether this is clear--thanks!
