Dear Friends,
I'm having problems in answering the following question. Please help.
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 some discussions.

Answer A negates premise in Stimulus.

Answer is A because, the premise says All immoral actions are accompanied by feelings of guilt. whereas, statement A says 'Some immoral actions are not accompanied by feelings of guilt'

Nope, I agree with A because this question ask us which choice is MUST BE FALSE. Choice A can be true. So, I eliminate choice A.
Choice E is my answer. It is too strong and too certain when mention "EVERY ACTIONS performed in public that is accompanied by feelings of guilt is immoral." IMO, maybe some actions is performed with feeling of guilt is not immoral, maybe neutral.
What's the OA?

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.

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

The OA is A. What is the problem with answer B. I picked it because there are two criterias for immoral action and the choice speaks of only one here. Can any one clear my doubt.

Second, they (immoral actions) are accompanied by feelings of guilt
(A) Some immoral actions (that are not performed in public) are not accompanied by feelings of guilt.
Thank all guys above, my second thought again, choice A is correct. I was disturbed by the relative modifier in the choice A.
