I had difficulty choosing between A and C. The correct answer seems to be A. Can anyone give a good explanation for why A is correct over C?

Hey so great question : )
So lets write our two answer choices in conditional statements:
A) Meaning ----> Refer to something
C) Refer to something -----> Meaning
Now lets take a look at what Joshua is doing:
He is saying in response to Ashley that "since such words are meaningless...."'
"such words" is a referential phrasing for what Ashley is calling all these words that she has listed that "don't refer to anything".
In other words Joshua is thinking: Words that don't refer to something are meaningless.
If we write this in conditional form: Don't refer to something ----->not meaningful
Which answer choice tell us this exact statement?
Answer choice "A"!
Meaning ----> Refer to something
If we take a contrapositive of this : don't refer to something -----> not meaningful.
Which is exactly what we were looking for.
P.S.
I was going to wait to answer you question in the morning but then I saw the "Help" (3(/p)
So Joshua goes from ~referring to something -->meaningless
If you do the contrapositive you get to (A). Answer choice (C) is the opposite of (A).
I hope this helps you!
