CANNOT BE TRUE

[nsd1825]

When approaching the answer choices to a cannot be true question, are mistaken reversals and mistaken negations in play. Meaning, because a mistaken reversal could be true and is not supported by the stimulus would it be a plausible answer choice, same question for a mistaken reversal.

Any assistance would be appreciated. :

Hey Nick,

In a Cannot Be True question, Mistaken Reversals and Negations could be true, and thus would be incorrect answers.

In a conditional problem, what cannot be true would be the logical negation of a statement. For example, if the stimulus contained a statement such as A --> B, the logical negation (not Mistaken Negation) of that statement would be A --> not B. That answer choice would be correct in a Cannot question.

Please let me know if that helps. Thanks!
