Summary
The stimulus can be diagrammed as follows:
Notable Valid Inferences
Everyone who is levelheaded is neither excessively generous nor bold.
A
Everyone who is excessively generous is not bold.
This could be false. All we know from the stimulus is that everyone who is excessively generous is not levelheaded—the information in the stimulus doesn’t tell us that they are also not bold.
B
Everyone who is not bold is excessively generous.
This could be false. Being not bold is not a sufficient condition for anything, given the information in the stimulus.
C
No one who is not bold lacks excessive generosity.
In clearer terms, (C) says everyone who is not bold is excessively generous. This could be false. Being not bold is not a sufficient condition for anything, given the information in the stimulus.
D
If someone is levelheaded, then that person is neither bold nor excessively generous.
This must be true. As shown below, when we take the contrapositive of the conditional claims in the stimulus, we can see that all levelheaded people are neither bold nor excessively generous.
E
If someone is not levelheaded, then that person is either bold or excessively generous.
This could be false. Being not levelheaded is not a sufficient condition for anything, given the information in the stimulus.
