Hello guys,
I have a quick question for y'all concerning two answer choices in this question. I believe it is critical to understand why answers are wrong — especially for "weaken except" questions. In this situation, while I got the right answer, I'm still left to wonder how and why answer choices B and E weaken the argument.
Thanks!

I think this is a good question. I eliminated most but I listened to JY's explanation.
Thanks so much @dimakyure869 !!!
LFL patterns correlate positively with mood
So, LFL activity causes mood.
Task: make it less likely that LFL activity causes changes in mood.
B - depression causes sleep which lowers LFL activity. This shows that the cause/effect relationship could be reversed.
E - depression inhibits social interaction, removing a means of stimulating LFL activity. Again, this shows that the relationship could be reversed.
When presented with a causal claim remember to look for ways to show:
Cause without effect
Effect without cause
New causal factor
Cause/effect is reversed
Problem with the data.
