I do not understand why, "'it is never acceptable to offer experimental treatments to patients who experience no extreme symptoms of the the relevant disease" is translated as no extreme symptoms (NES) -----> not acceptable to offer exp. treatment (/AOET).
If we negate the necessary - wouldn't that be 'it is sometimes acceptable to offer ex. trmt'. I do not grasp how just repeating what the sentence says is negating the necessary in this case? I'm having trouble in general with these 'not, never, double-negative type statements, and invariably getting them wrong. please help.

Ok, I need some clarification. The first time around I chose E on this question, then after I got it wrong (and thought I had it right), I reworked the question, at which point I chose A! This was proof that I REALLY did not understand the question. I chose A because I assumed there would be a spike and then the plankton would die off because of lack of resources explaining the eventual decline. I now see the error of my ways on this question. However, my original choice, E, is still a mystery to me. This was my first choice AND it still seems plausible. The video (and others) say that we should be thinking that viruses are good in this case and that helps us arrive at the correct answer. However, it seems to me that there could be another mode of thinking to arrive at the correct answer? I would never automatically think (especially under time restraints) to look for an answer that explains why the virus was good, that is counter to my understanding of the world. Therefore, if I don't see this question in another light, I am bound to make the same mistake again. Specifically, is there any problem with the language in E? It says that 'at any given time plankton are already infected', using present tense (as opposed to 'at any given time the plankton WERE already infected') when the stimulus clearly says the virus was removed in past tense. I almost chose another answer precisely because the time element felt off to me - the present tense did not feel right on this answer for the reason I stated above. Can somebody please shed some additional light on why E is wrong??
