'Most dresses in that market are expensive.' This means
AThere are no cheap dresses in that market
BThere are some cheap dresses in that market
CSome dresses in that market are expensive ✓ Correct
DNone of the above
Correct answer: (C) Some dresses in that market are expensive
Explanation
The claim entails only that some dresses in that market are expensive.
'Most' asserts that more than half the dresses are expensive.
If most are expensive, then certainly some are expensive.
It says nothing definite about whether cheap dresses do or do not exist.
The safe entailment from 'most' is the particular 'some are expensive'.
