[QUOTE="Interested_In_Law, post: 181943, member: 24808"] Bit confused about one Watson Glaser question and wondering if someone could help. The question was an interpretation question on the lawyer portal, stating: "Everyone who suffers with depression also experiences some type of personal battle. For example, Chloe’s dog passed away while Jamie lost his job." "Jamie lost his job because of his depression." Correct answer is 'conclusion follows'. The logic given in the explanation "conclusion [I]follows because it states that depression leads to personal problems, which for Jamie was losing his job.[/I] But surely, it is not possible to believe [B]beyond reasonable doubt[/B] that the depression is because of the lost job, when it could also be true that the lost job caused the depression. In fact, if we were to strictly follow according the answer's logic of depression causing these personal problems, then surely the death of Chloe's dog was because Chloe was depressed? Which makes no sense at all... [/QUOTE]
