In the course of her researches, a historian recently found two documents mentioning the same person, Erich Schnitzler. One, dated May 3, 1739, is a record of Schnitzler's arrest for peddling without a license. The second, undated, is a statement by Schnitzler asserting that he has been peddling off and on for 20 years.

The facts above best support which of the following conclusions?

(A) Schnitzler started peddling around 1719.

(B) Schnitzler was arrested repeatedly for peddling.

(C) The undated document was written before 1765.

(D) The arrest record was written after the undated document.

(E) The arrest record provides better evidence that Schnitzler peddled than does the undated document.
Best,
Nikhil H. Katira

2 documents:

1. May 3, 1976: Arrest for peddling without license.
2. UNDATED: Statement asserting he has been peddling on and off for 20 years.

What can we INFER from this?

A. Not necessarily - what if he continued peddling even after being arrested?

B. Not necessarily - the one on may 3rd could have been the only arrest.

C. 1739+20 = 1759. This means that even if May 3, 1739 was the FIRST day that Schnitzler started peddling, the document saying he HAD been peddling for 20 years could not be true beyond the year 1759. Thus, it MUST be true that the document was written before 1765.

D. Not at all. What if he was arrested and then made the statement in jail?

E. This is too subjective. We cannot judge which of the 2 documents is BETTER.

Pick C.

This question is not really like a proper GMAT one. Don't bother too much with it.

Really! Well I still feel the choices are not too good. Still C is clearly the winner :)

The reason I say that it's not good is because GMAT usually doesn't include subjective opinions in answer choices, especially in logical reasoning. Though if you do see 2 answers, one of which is logical and one subjective, like in this problem, pick the logical one which MUST be true over the subjective one which COULD be true.

The question should have said, "Which of the following must be true" instead of "best support which of the following conclusions"

C seems to be the only closer option in any case.
