Could someone help me understand this problem?

Sorry to ask this again, but I've spent too many hours explaining the wrong question! Please give me the first sentence of the question. Thanks.

Some people who can’t find a job are not qualified, and some young people can’t find a job.

What is the difference between

Some people who can’t find a job are not qualified
Some people who are not qualified can't find a job

My brain not catching on to this one just yet. Are we looking at sets here?

Some people who can’t find a job are not qualified, and some young people can’t find a job.

Correct Answer: Some people who are not qualified can’t find a job.
Incorrect Answer: Some young people are not qualified.

What is the difference between

Some people who can’t find a job are not qualified
Some people who are not qualified can't find a job

There's no difference between those two statements. And that's what the correct answer relies upon.

However, for the wrong answer, we can't assume an overlap between the unqualified people and the young people. In general, combining two "some" statements that share one element doesn't tell you anything about the relationship between the other elements.
