Critical Reasoning

There is little point in looking to artists for insights into political issues. Most of them hold political views that are less insightful than those of any reasonably well-educated person who is not an artist. Indeed, when taken as a whole, the statements made by artists, including those considered great, indicate that artistic talent and political insight are rarely found together.

P1: Most artists have less insights than any well educated person who is not artist.
P2: Artistic talent and political insights are rarely found together.

Conclusion: There is little point in looking to artists for insights into political issues.


Which one of the following can be inferred from the passage?
(A) There are no artists who have insights into political issues.
This is not true, as its clearly mention that they do have less insights than well educated persons.
(B) A thorough education in art makers a person reasonably well educated.
Effect of education, its out of scope.
(C) Every reasonably well-educated person who is not an artist has more insight into political issues than any artist.
Look at the word EVERY, P1 says - most (assume 51%) artists have less insights than ..., this means 49% still have more or equal insights than ....
(D) Politicians rarely have any artistic talent.
Out of scope
(E) Some artists are no less politically insightful than some reasonably well-educated persons who are not artists.
P1 says - most (assume 51%) artists have less insights than ..., this means 49% still have more or equal insights than ....

Most according to Powerscore CR is 51-100 %

Some = 0+ to 100-
All = 100
None = 0
Not All = 0 to 100-

In simple terms=

Some = 1 to 99
Many = 1 to 99
All = 100
None = 0
Not all = 0 to 99
Most = 51 to 99

Please correct me If I am wrong.

Is this your opinion or do u have a source to verify the above

mundasingh123 wrote:@sunnyjohn Well i think those are your own assumtions. I cant say about the rest but Powerscore does say the the magnitude of some ranges from 1 to 100
