In Inference Based Questions, which statement is true?

• A. Only conclusions are treated as true
• B. Some premises are treated as true
• C. All information in the argument is treated as true
• D. No information is treated as true

Answer: (C)

In inference-based questions, every piece of information given is treated as true, and you determine what must follow from that information. That means you analyze logical consequences of the premises, not the truth of the premises themselves. So the statement that all information in the argument is treated as true is the best answer because it captures the standard approach: you work from all the stated facts as given and identify what must be true as a result. The other options misstate the method: only conclusions are treated as true would ignore the premises you start from; some premises are treated as true would be incomplete since all stated information is taken as true; no information is treated as true is the opposite of how inference questions operate. When solving, assume all stated facts are true and focus on what necessarily follows.
