I got this question right but don't really see where the paradox is to this RRE question. Where is the conflict? #help

Much appreciated yunonsie!

This cleared it up! Thanks for the explanation--again!

I was getting the whole idea of contrapositives and negations confused.

I see. Thanks!

However, wouldn't AC A's negation just be the contrapositive? This is where I am confused...

I read AC A's negation the same as JY spoke of which is:

/Dismiss AND Praise → /Judgement

The way JY speaks of this, it doesn't appear that this AC negated destroys the argument. Perhaps I am just getting confused between negations and contrapositives...

Correction: I mean to say that it doesn't seem like AC A (if negated) destroys the argument. It still seems consistent...which is contrary to what is usually the case with necessary assumption question types.

I understand how answer choice A is correct. However, being that correct necessary assumption answers destroy the argument, I am a little confused. It doesn't seem like negating AC A is harming it if negated...

Does answer choice A strengthen the argument? That's what it seems like to me.

PT5–S01–Q09

Having trouble with choices A and E.

Perhaps I may have it correct but I’m trying to gauge if my thinking is correct.

For choice A. This is correct because the whole notion of “destroying any diseased cow as it shows typical symptoms” matches with the support in the stimulus that BSE CANNOT be detected until overt symptoms are found—hence making choice A’s proposal impossible to help eradicate BSE as by the time a cow has been infected with BSE, it may have already exposed other cows.

However, why is choice E incorrect?

Please #help
