The answer for this question is E. I don't think any of the answers really have a logic structure that parallels to that of the stimulus. For the stimulus I got:

CA--> P

CA some MR

therefore, P some MR

For E I got:

SP some TP

SO some TP

therefore SO --> SP

I won't exactly say they are parallel, though E is the closest answer I guess.

Any thoughts on this?

    As @6400 says, "since" introduces the premise. So (E) can be diagrammed like this

    (E)

    SO —> SP

    SO (-s-)TP

    ——

    SP (-s-) TP

    Stimulus says:

    CA —> P

    CA (-s-) MR

    ——

    P (-s-) MR

    It matches (E) perfectly.

    "since" reveals the conclusion to be

    SP some P

    the remaining are all premises:

    SO some P

    and

    SO ----> SP

    Organized in this manner allows it to match the stim perfectly
