All parrots can learn to speak a few words and phrases. Not all parrots have equally pleasant dispositions, though some of those native to Australia can be counted on for a sweet temper. Almost any parrot, however, will show tremendous affection for an owner who raised the bird from a chick by hand-feeding it.

Summary

Notable Valid Inferences

Some parrots that can learn to speak a few words and phrases can be counted on for a sweet temper.

Some parrots that can learn to speak a few words and phrases show tremendous affection for an owner who raised the bird from a chick.

A
Some parrots that can learn to speak are sweet tempered.

Must be true. As shown below, if all parrots can learn to speak and some parrots are sweet tempered, then there must be some overlap between parrots that can learn to speak and parrots that are sweet tempered.

B
If a parrot is not native to Australia, then it will be sweet tempered only if it is hand-fed as a chick.

Could be false. We only have a condition about some parrots that are native to Australia. Moreover, as shown in our diagram, being hand-fed is not a necessary condition for being sweet tempered.

C
The sweetest-tempered parrots are those native to Australia.

Could be false. We only know that some parrots native to Australia are sweet-tempered, but we don’t know which ones are the sweetest.

D
Australia is the only place where one can find birds that can both learn to speak and be relied on for a sweet temper.

Could be false. We know that there are parrots native to Australia with these characteristics, but to say that Australia is the only place is too extreme.

E
All species of pet birds that are native to Australia can be counted on for a sweet temper.

Could be false. We only know that some parrots native to Australia can be counted on for a sweet temper. All species of pet birds is too broad of a statement to be supported by the stimulus.
