Final answer:

Based on the statement, 'Jameson does not attend the concert unless Steve does,' the correct answer is C) Jameson attends only if Steve does. This indicates a dependency where Jameson's attendance is contingent upon Steve's attendance.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statements given require us to make logical inferences about the attendance of Jameson and Steve at concerts. According to the statement, "Jameson does not attend the concert unless Steve does," we can conclude that Jameson's attendance at any concert is dependent on Steve's attendance. This situation is analogous to the provided Argument 3 example, where Jad's party attendance is dependent on the completion of his homework.

The correct answer to the question is C) Jameson attends only if Steve does. This is because the initial statement indicates a conditional requirement for Jameson's attendance that is contingent on Steve attending. It does not necessarily mean that Steve has to attend every concert (B), as Jameson may also choose not to attend for other reasons besides Steve's absence. For the other options, A and D are incorrect based on the given information. Option A is not supported by the initial statement, nor is option D, which would suggest a reverse dependency that Steve attends only if Jameson does, which is not indicated anywhere in the problem.
