First, you said that since this is a conjunction ("Or"), if either condition is triggered, we can conclude that the jokes "should not have played." When you evaluated answer A, you said "even if it was not contemptuous" is useless and pointed to the diagram you made. Why should "not contemptuous" have been useless? Yes, it doesn't meet our condition, but until there, the answer is actually fine. Since we needed either condition, it is fine that the joke was "not contemptuous." The answer messes up on the second condition. Could you please clarify why you struck the "even if it was not contemptuous" line?

@ConnerKline, your answer should be in the explanation section. It truly addresses the main problem with C and why the answer is A. Very good job! Thank you!!!

Another problem with answer A is that it doesn't consider that the stimulus only mentions larger families, not the number of children, to describe bigger households. The assumption that it refers solely to children isn't well-supported. Larger families could include extended relatives like grandma, grandpa, and cousins living together, not just siblings. Answer A focuses only on the number of children and overlooks other family members who could expose infants to germs. Therefore, it doesn't fully support the argument.

@Kevin_Lin That explains a lot! Thank you so much!

@duaafaquih I am also confused when he decides to use "no" as an already negated idea, vs not taking it that way. It feels mechanically arbitrary, or he always takes the overall meaning into account when applying the rules.
