LR Problem Set #1 Question 42

[abajaj]

Hi,

Although I got question 42 correct, I was between choice B and E for this problem. Looking at it again, I feel like E is a better choice because it says directly in the stimulus that "responsible psychologists always accept the possibility that new evidence will show that their theories are incorrect." Answer choice E says "Psychologists who accept the possibility that new evidence will show that their theories are incorrect are responsible psychologists".

My only guess is that it could be a mistaken reversal?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, thank you!!!

Hi Aba,

Indeed, answer choice (E) is a Mistaken Reversal of the final sentence of Anson's argument:

Anson says: RP ANE

(E) says: ANE RP

Thus, in a Must Be True question such as this one, (E) will always be incorrect.

Good working on spotting that!

Thank you! That definitely helps a lot.
