Actually I want help on this question. Why is it a bad assumption in this scenario to assume risk had to be based on real-world knowledge of lending/risk?

I chose C and looking back understand why it's wrong. It is because just because the both authors can agree that the business wouldn't have failed if it had indoor seating does not make them think it's likely to be successful
But I feel as if E makes a similar assumption. Neither author talks about the business being "risky", that in itself is an assumption. In fact, only the second author states that it was "irresponsible to lend money", the first author makes no such statement on money. If we assume that "risky" was the fact the bank lost money, which is a commonly inferred assumption using real-world knowledge of how risk/lending works, then the first author makes no such statement of agreement. Only the agreement on risk can be made if we assume risk comes from the business failing, which is an atypical assumption of risk.
I choose C precisely because both authors agreed that their lack of indoor dining made patrons not want to go there and I got it wrong because the logical opposite of failing isn't success, but not failing. Unfair question imho.
How do you understand the answer choices? I feel like I missed a lesson on what the ACs are actually asking me to consider. It reads too abstractly for me to be able to be able to effectively compare to my stimulus and question stem.

Who is causing the Scandal? Is it the Regulator, the Legislature, or neither? That is the key to understanding why the answer isn't A.
Are you looking to skip the test as well? Look I'm going give you some tough love because I'm in the same position. If you know what you're doing then focus what you're weakest on. Take a diagnostic or a preptest, see where you stand, then begin improving.
Oh and drill the logic games, it's the easiest place to gain and lose the most points. Drill it. Do it now. Stop reading this comment and drill, now!
I was just thinking to myself that a lot of JY's work, especially in logical reasoning questions, use diagrams and logically expressions. But on the digital test, I can't draw or write any sort of lawgic near the questions to help me answer the questions. We do get 5 pages of scrap paper, but I often find myself saving that for the Logic Games in the event that I get a double logic game section. Is there anyway around this limitation?
Please note: I am not asking to literally get around scrap paper limitations. I want to learn your strategy of dealing with difficult questions with or without scrap paper.
Sign me up, wanting to get back into the swing of this. I would love to speak to like minded people prepping for this.
The thing I don't understand about this question is how does answer D make sense? Perhaps I'm bringing too much context into this answer, but what prevents the same virus from being chosen year after year? I understand how C is wrong because it's restating a premise and doesn't help, but I wish there was a premise in the argument that stated something along the lines of vaccines protect you for a period greater than one year. That way you know that D is the answer because the previous year's vaccine will protect you and cause a mutation in the virus that requires a new vaccine. Which in a sense also validates C (though this is already a premise) because each vaccine also only protects you from one strain of the virus, thus necessitating the requirement for D to get a new vaccine year after year.
Stuck between A and B and choose B because the stimulus confused me. On the right path I suppose.
