Summary
The stimulus can be diagrammed as follows:
Notable Valid Inferences
Vacuum tubes are not currently preferable to semiconductors for use in digital circuits.
A
Vacuum tubes are not now preferable to semiconductors for use in digital circuits.
Must be true. In order to be preferable to semiconductors for use in digital circuits, vacuum tubes would to be comparable to semiconductors in all significant respects. Because vacuum tubes are not comparable in terms of current capacity, they are not now preferable.
B
Once vacuum tubes and semiconductors have comparable maximum current capacity, vacuum tubes will be used in some digital circuits.
Could be false. We don’t know if vacuum tubes are comparable to semiconductors in all other significant respects, so we don’t know if they would be preferable even with increased current capacity. Even if they were preferable, that doesn’t necessarily mean they would be used.
C
The only reason that vacuum tubes are not now used in digital circuits is that vacuum tubes’ maximum current capacity is too low.
Could be false. The stimulus doesn’t tell us whether or not vacuum tubes are comparable to semiconductors in any way other than current capacity and heat resistance—maybe they’re deficient in other respects!
D
Semiconductors will always be preferable to vacuum tubes for use in many applications other than digital circuits.
Could be false. The stimulus tells us absolutely nothing about whether or not semiconductors are preferable to vacuum tubes in applications other than digital circuits.
E
Resistance to heat is the only advantage that vacuum tubes have over semiconductors.
Could be false. Maybe vacuum tubes have other advantages besides heat resistance! The stimulus does not rule out this possibility.
