Two things are true of all immoral actions. First, if they are performed in public, they offend public sensibilities.
Second, they are accompanied by feelings of guilt. If all the statements above are true, then which one of the
following must be false?
(A) Some immoral actions that are not performed in public are not accompanied by feelings of guilt.
(B) Immoral actions are wrong solely by virtue of being accompanied by feelings of guilt.
(C) Some actions that offend public sensibilities if they are performed in public are not accompanied by feelings of
guilt.
(D) Some actions that are accompanied by feelings of guilt are not immoral, even if they frequently offend public
sensibilities.
(E) Every action performed in public that is accompanied by feelings of guilt is immoral.

OA after discussion please.

IMO A.

1s - For all immortal actions - offend pub sens if performed in public,
2s - all immortal actions - accompanied by guilt

A.Some immortal actions - not performed in public (this is out of 1st statement) not accompanied by guilt (contradicts 2nd statement) - hence false

B.Out of scope
C.some actions - so they might be immortal actions and can be true.
D.some actions - same as above
E.Immortal actions are part of actions and for those to be immortal it should be performed in public accompanied by guilt - so can be true.

IMO A. Tough one

Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.

Should be Option 'A'

Rest all options can be true.
But option 'A' can not be true as it conflicts with Premise2.

It took more than 3 mins

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
