So "most closely conforms to the principle" requires content taken literally, while "pattern of reasoning" focuses on the structure? I am so confused
I was confused because I reduced the stim to
Intervention -> Survive
Preservation -> Survive
And I assumed because S=S that Intervention=Preservation, but I and P can be two separate entities that both contribute to S, and overlap is not necessary for the logic to work.
Medina "shares her opinion" = "shares [KAY'S] opinion." We don't know Medina's gender, and the possessive pronoun refers to Kay.

Intuitively I would kick up resident to the domain and get
Domain: Resident
/purpose —> prohibit
/prohibit —> purpose,
But would mean the embedded conditional is
Resident —> (/purpose —> prohibit)
Is that logically equivalent to
/purpose —> (Resident —> prohibit)
?
Intuitively, I feel like the answer is yes, they are logically equivalent, because if you simplify the embedded conditional into their respective joint sufficient conditionals it would be
Resident + /purpose —> Prohibit
/purpose + Resident —> Prohibit
…which in my understanding ARE logically equivalent? Or does the order in which conjunct sufficient conditions appear affect the meaning of the conditional?
But I am confused because this means the English should say “All animals that don’t serve a legitimate medical purpose are prohibited unless you are a resident”…?
Am I misunderstanding something? Is there a scenario in which this would not work?
CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHAT "MISLMATCHED PREMISE AND CONCLUSION" MEANS PLEASE T_T
