Would someone correct my conditional logic steps that may lead to the condition that forms the answer:
Premise 1: "some gardening books published by Garden Path recommend tilling the soil and adding compost before starting a new garden on a site"
(domain) gardening books:
published by GPP <-s-> tilling AND compost (1)
Premise 2: "they (those same books) do not explain the difference between hot and cold composting."
published by GPP <-s-> / diff H&C composting (2)
Premise 3: "any gardening book that recommends adding compost is flawed if it does not explain at least the basics of composting"
(domain) gardening books :
/ basics composting -> flawed (3)
Conclusion: "some books published by Garden Path are flawed."
published by GPP <-s-> flawed (4)
(4) is the same as :
flawed <-s-> published by GPP (5)
combining (5) and (2)
flawed <-s-> published by GPP <-s-> / diff H&C composting (6)
based off of (6)
flawed <-s-> / diff H&C composting (7)
Combine (7) and (3)
/ basics composting ->/ diff H&C composting
contrapositive:
diff H&C composting -> basics composting
Based on the above D should be the answer perhaps?
Though certainly there is a flaw in there somewhere particularly with the <s> relationships inference etc.
