When he was younger, he was also a poet. He did not win any medals in the International Mathematics Olympiads. He dropped out of college.

Based only on the above information, which one of the following statements can be logically inferred with certainty?

• A. Every Fields medalist has won a medal in an International Mathematics Olympiad. 
• B. Everyone who has dropped out of college has won the Fields medal. 
• C. All Fields medalists are part-time poets. 
• D. Some Fields medalists have dropped out of college.

Answer 1

The passage mentions that June Huh, a Fields medalist, dropped out of college. This means that there is at least one Fields medalist who has dropped out of college. However, the passage does not provide any information about whether every Fields medalist has dropped out of college or not. Therefore, the correct inference is that some Fields medalists have dropped out of college.

Correct Answer: D
