2) (E) Some employees who use a Mac and have attended a security training seminar use a tablet. We know from the stimulus that some Mac users also use a tablet, and all tablet users have attended a security training seminar. Therefore, it must be true that some Mac users who have attended a security training seminar use a tablet.
3) (B) Some local bands are jazz bands. We know from the stimulus that all jazz bands are local. Therefore, it must be true that there are local bands that are jazz bands.
4) (E) There are more than ten pieces of artwork at the fair. The stimulus states that every artist must display at least one piece of artwork, and no artist can display more than three pieces. Therefore, there could be anywhere from ten to thirty pieces of artwork at the fair. The other statements (A to D) can be directly inferred from the stimulus.
