@qboylan The logic in answer choice A is valid, but answer choice B is flawed in the same way as the stimulus.
The stimulus says:
Premise: healthy bones -> include sufficient calcium
Conclusion: /healthy bones -> /include sufficient calcium
This is not logically valid.
Answer choice A is valid because the conclusion is just the premise in its contrapositive form:
Premise: firm crust -> right temperature
Conclusion: /right temperatue -> /firm crust
But answer choice B makes the same mistake as the stimulus:
Premise: good taste -> right amount of flour
Conclusion: /good taste -> /right amount of flour
So, answer choice A flips and negates correctly, while answer choice B (just like the stimulus) only negates both sides. I hope that makes sense!
@yade this is pretty much identical to the way I approached answer choice E
@MaimounaTraore same, so much easier than sufficient assumption imo
@Arsalan06 this tripped me up too. There's an explanation by MinjunJin above that explains it well
Literally laughed at this question. Ridiculous.
