Summary
A Designer says that any garden and adjoining living room separated by a sliding glass door can visually merge into a single space. If the doors are left open, this effect will be created if it is not already present. If they are already visually merged, the effect will be intensified. If the garden is well coordinated with the room and contributes a strong visual interest, the effect will remain quite strong during colder months.
Strongly Supported Conclusions
If the sliding doors are closed, this effect can/cannot be present.
If the doors are left open, this effect will be present.

The designer's statements, if true, ████ ████████ ███████ █████ ███ ██ ███ ██████████
a
A garden separated ████ ██ █████████ ██████ ████ ██ ██████ ███████ █████ █████ ██████ ██ ████ ███████████ ████ ███ ████ ██████ ███ ██████ ███████████ ██████ ██████ █████████
The stimulus does not give this condition. The stimulus only says that being well coordinated and contributing a strong visual interest is sufficient for the effect to remain strong in the winter.
b
In cold weather, █ ██████ ███ ██ █████████ ██████ ████ █████████ ████ ███ ███████ ██ ███████ █████ █████ ████ ███ ████████ █████ ████ █ ██████ █████ ██████ ███ ██████ ██ ████ ███████████ ████ ███ █████
This is too strong to support. The stimulus says that the effect will remain strong if the room is well coordinated and contributes a strong visual interest. The stimulus gives no condition that can conclude that the room does not visually merge.
c
A garden and ██ █████████ ██████ ████ █████████ ██ ███████ █████ █████ ██████ ████████ █████ ██ ██████ ██████ ███ █████ ███ █████
This is antisupported. The doors being open in the summer enhances the effect if it is already present and provides the effect if it is not.
d
A garden can ████████ █████ ████ ██ █████████ ██████ ████ ████ █ ██████ █████ ████ ██ ███ ██████ ████ ███ ██████████ ██████ ██████ ████████ ██ ███ ████
This reflects the reasoning in the stimulus. The room contributing a strong visual interest is only linked to the effect remaining quite strong during colder months. The room can still visually merge without this condition.
e
Except in summer, ███████ ███ ███████ █████ █████ ████ ████████ █ ██████ ████ ██ █████████ ██████ ████ ████ ███ █████████ ███ ██████ ██ ███ ██████ ███ ████ ████████ ███████ ████ █ ██████ ██████
This is antisupported. The stimulus only uses summer as an example, not a definitive rule. The stimulus says that the effect will be enhanced or created if the doors are left open and does not specify any time of year.
