There is a problem with 2406 as neither answer choice can be validly inferred.


All successful people have experienced a life-changing event, and most people who have experienced a life-changing event are aware of its impact.

We can infer that...

Most people who have experienced a life-changing event are successful.

Some successful people are aware of having experienced a life-changing event.

Let's symbolize as follows:

All successful people have experienced a life changing event
= S ---->L

most people who have experienced a life-changing event are ware of its impact = L most A

There is no way to validly infer, as the purported answer does, that S some A. It could be the case that though the majority of L's are A, it just so happens that the S's never are. It's a classic invalid formulation.
