Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
This Inference question clearly has a formal logic feel to it, so you can bet that youll need to know your contrapositives to find the correct answer. Heres the chain of statements: Inspired musical performances guarantee a good show. So IMP—> GS. But there won’t be a good show unless there are sophisticated listeners. "X cannot be true unless Y" is logically equivalent to "X implies Y," and so the second statement means that if there is a good show, there must be sophisticated listeners. Combining this with the first sentence gives us IMP > GS > SL. Now, being a sophisticated listener requires one to know ones musical roots. So if there are sophisticated listeners out there, they must understand their musical roots. Throwing this in gives us IMP > GS > SL > UMR. From here, many statements are deducible.
