Hi everyone! I am a little confused on this question, specifically on Answer Choice E.

Because it is a Pattern MOR Q, I broke down the logic in the stimulus too:

B -> D or J

D or J m-> QP

B probably QP

I represented the conclusion with probably because I believe it is important, as the question does not fully claim B must be QP.

Working through the wrong answers:

A: Incorrect, talks about Mercedes Identifying most trees, but that does not really fit with the structure we need

B: Incorrect, assumption required between creaking gate and hearing somebody break into house.

C: Incorrect, similar to our argument, but does not include most, and includes a negation our argument does not have

D : Correct: M -> L or K m-> MD Conclusion: M probably MD. Direct mimic of Q Argument

E: This is the one I am struggling with why its incorrect.

Laying out the logic for this one I have:

T -> D or S

D or S m-> CS

T probably CS

I know I am missing something, but all I see here is an argument that also mimics the Qs argument. Maybe because the conclusion comes first?

Thanks for the help!
