If something would have been justifiably regretted if it had occurred, then it is something that one should not have
desired in the first place. It follows that many forgone pleasures should not have been desired in the first place.
The conclusion above follows logically if which one of the following is assumed?
A. One should never regret one's pleasures.
B. Forgone pleasures that were not desired would not have been justifiably regretted.
C. Everything that one desires and then regrets not having is a forgone pleasure.
D. Many forgone pleasures would have been justifiably regretted.
E. Nothing that one should not have desired in the first place fails to be a pleasure.

Argument: Sth justifiably regretted should not be desired in the first place.

Conclusion: Many forgone pleasures should not have been desired in the first place.

Option D IMO.

Let A = something that would have been justifiably regretted.
Let B = forgone pleasures.
Let C = should not have been desired in the first place.

Premise: A --> C.
If something would have been justifiably regretted if it had occurred, then it is something that one should not have desired in the first place.

Conclusion: B --> C.
Many forgone pleasures should not have been desired in the first place.

Missing link = B --> A:
If B --> A (assumption), and A --> C (premise), then B --> C (conclusion).

The correct answer will provide the missing link B --> A:
Forgone pleasures --> something that would have been justifiably regretted.

Answer choice D provides this missing link:
Many forgone pleasures would have been justifiably regretted.

The correct answer is D.

formal logic is not tested on gmat as on lsat. I do not know what is formal logic but "if-thEn" is said to be formal logic

gmatprep questions should be studied carefully and PLS, SAY THE SOURCE CORRECTLY or you waiste your time.
