still confused on how sometimes we can say that the stimulus is wrong and sometimes we can’t. one time i clicked on an AC, but it was wrong because it said that the stimulus is wrong and you can’t negate the stimulus. now this answer choice is correct even though it’s saying that the stimulus is wrong and it negates it?

I’m confused how sometimes we can’t just negate what the stimulus tells us and other times we can. Some questions we have to take the stimulus to be true and anything that negates what the stimulus tells us is wrong. Other questions have answers like C that negates what the stimulus tells us, but it’s ok?

These questions make no sense to me. How is the answer B? I feel like in past lessons we were told not to pick answers like these because we don’t know if the cities financial predicament would have been resolved or not if the city didn’t invest in the computer modeling technology. I feel like we learned that other factors may have caused the financial predicament being resolved even if the city didn’t invest. Am I just being dumb? I feel like the passage didn’t say anything about that.
