Q9

[kwjustin89]

I'm not sure I'm understanding something in the rules or diagram properly. For 9, I seem to be able to find that more than answer choice C could work, which is obviously wrong. Can someone guide me through this question? Which frame applies to this question? Thanks a lot.

All three frames apply.
(NOVEL) [play]
(FFF) [f, r] (No more than 4 French works)
(FFF R) [f/r]
(FFF R) [f, r] (No more than 4 French works)

Only C) fits.

Another way to pick the right answer is simply to apply rules to the answer choices:
A) one Russian novel; 5 or 6 works, not 4.
B) two French plays; no more than four French works.
D) one Russian novel, two French plays; no more than four French works.
E) two Russian novels, one French play; no more than four novels.

Nice work! There's almost always more than one approach that works, and the more practice we have at seeing things from a different perspective, the more likely we are to get to the solution during the middle of the test when our first approach doesn't work.
