A lot of these tests test material that is never, ever used on the job the applicant is applying for, or for that matter, very much in daily life at all!!!
You are correct @socerdemon8. B Items are either blue or green, which does not exclude the possibility of all B items being green, in which case they (all B items) would all be available for commercial sale, so I would contend that there is insufficient information to correctly answer the question. That is the problem with these tests. There is no appeal process (that I'm aware of). I once took a like test; I don't think it was the Wonderlic, but a similar type of quiz. One of the questions consisted of four squares with three vertical lines running from top to bottom through the center of the square. Inside of each box were two circles positioned in different locations within the box. The task was to identify which figure was "different" from the rest. In three of the four boxes, at least one circle was touching or overlapping the lines, and in the fourth box, neither of the circles were touching the lines - and the "right" answer (according to the testing service) was that the box with the circles not touching the lines was, "different," from the rest. However, one of the boxes, in which the circles were touching the lines was arranged symmetrically, while the circles in all the other figures were asymmetrically arranged, so by that criterion, one of the "similar," boxes was also different than the rest. This is inevitable when the people writing the test questions operate under the flawed assumption they are smarter than the people who will be taking their tests.
@@jayjablunov4697 Yup, I've had a few tests like that, can't remember the exact question, but you just have to basically guess what the question writer is intending to test. They usually just attempt to regurgitate other tests, giving you a little better chance.

The deductive reasoning conclusion isn’t necessarily incorrect

That makes me not want to take this course.
