Category - Logical Reasoning

Some artists also excel at science and become successful inventors. All inventors have an imaginative, creative mind. Anyone with an imaginative, creative mind is more likely to become an artist than those who do not.

Based on the preceding passage, which of the following must be true?
  1. All artists have imaginative, creative minds.
  2. Most inventors are also artists.
  3. At least one person with an imaginative, creative mind must have become an artist.
  4. Everyone with an imaginative, creative mind becomes both an inventor and an artist.
  5. Everyone with an imaginative, creative mind becomes either an inventor or an artist, but not both.
Explanation
Answer: C - It must be true that at least one person with an imaginative, creative mind has become an artist. If some artists are successful inventors and all inventors are imaginative and creative, then at least some artists are imaginative and creative. That can be reversed to mean that at least one imaginative and creative person is an artist.
