@gabs I noticed B just restated a premise when writing out the conditionals of the minor premises (/promise-control), and the restating of a premise is never the correct answer for these.
D doesn't overtly add the conclusion to its sufficient condition, but it doesn't have to. That's also why this question was so difficult. We're used to "sufficient (premise), then necessary (conclusion)" in the answer choices. But sometimes the correct answer just gives the sufficient and you have to link it to the conclusion yourself.
The only reason I got this question right was because I wrote out the premises' conditionals and the conclusion's conditional like you taught us. Doing that made me notice the giant hole in the major premise's support for the conclusion. It would've never clicked for me otherwise.
Major Premise: Love-Feeling -> /PromiseSense
Conclusion: /Love-Feeling
Only way to get to conclusion (i.e., which sufficient condition leads to this conclusion)? Contrapositive of Major Premise: PromiseSense -> /Love-Feeling
Oh, that's D!
Insane Question.
@mmcgillbusiness467 it's unrepresentative for both reasons... so both of you are right. @josephn10 is not wrong.
