READ THE PASSAGE

Only measurements that include units may be entered in the comparison table. The editor will choose which eligible measurements are useful.

Which conclusion is supported?

  1. Measurements without units are always preferred.
  2. Every measurement with units must be entered.
  3. Every measurement entered in the table must include units.
  4. The editor must enter every available measurement.
See the answer & why

Every measurement entered in the table must include units.

Units are necessary for entry, while the second sentence preserves selection among eligible measurements.

A little hint: Track the direction of the condition. A requirement for an outcome does not automatically guarantee that outcome; a sufficient condition need not be the only route.

A teaching tip

Track the direction of the condition. A requirement for an outcome does not automatically guarantee that outcome; a sufficient condition need not be the only route.
