To be eligible for the local business awards, a business must satisfy one or more of the following conditions:

The business has more than 1,000 votes from satisfied customers.
The business has been eligible for the local business awards in the previous 3 years but has not won yet.
Won last year’s local business awards.

Cecil is trying to estimate his chances of his business winning this year’s local business awards.

Cecil: “We won last year, have been eligible for the previous 3 years and received over 2,000 votes this year. We’re sure to win this year’s local business awards!”

Which one of the following sentences shows the mistake Cecil has made?

Other competitors may have met more than one of the conditions also. The conditions he has met guarantees eligibility but not certainty of winning the local business awards. His chances are much higher than those who have not met all three conditions as he has. He is not accounting for the competitors who have not met any of the conditions.

Are you sure you want to leave?
