This question took me a lot of time but i still dont get why A is the answer because in A arent we affirming the consequent which is a conditional logic error ( if x then y - all poor then honest ; if y then x - all honest if poor )???

Guys, so for N.A we have the flip test for the answer to see if the assumption is necessary or not. Is there something like that for the Sufficient Assumption questions?
Thanks xx
A certain experimental fungicide causes no harm to
garden plants, though only if it is diluted at least to
ten parts water to one part fungicide.Moreover, this
fungicide is known to be so effective against powdery
mildew that it has the capacity to eliminate it
completely from rose plants. Thus this fungicide, as
long as it is sufficiently diluted, provides a means of
eliminating powdery mildew from rose plants that
involves no risk of harming the plants.
Which one of the following is an assumption on
which the argument depends?
(A) There is not an alternative method, besides
application of this fungicide, for eliminating
powdery mildew from rose plants without
harming the plants.
(B) When the fungicide is sufficiently diluted, it
does not present any risk of harm to people,
animals, or beneficial insects.
(C) Powdery mildew is the only fungal infection
that affects rose plants.
(D) If a fungicide is to be effective against powdery
mildew on rose plants, it must eliminate the
powdery mildew completely.
(E) The effectiveness of the fungicide does not
depend on its being more concentrated than
one part in ten parts of water
I picked A but the ans is E- WHY??
Is it true that the right answer choice needs to address both the premise and conclusion. I was told this by my previous instructor and ive been really struggling with these NA questions. im trying to negate but still doesnt work. Im always down to 2 ans choices and pick the wrong one.
@yxh425310 Im having trouble negating because i can negate two ans and then that confuses me to pick which one would have more impact. Any idea how to go about that?
yhe right answer is E and i picked B. I dont get at all why E is right because isnt that going against our whole conclusion which is that what the Marine Biologists are saying (lobsters eat one another is in response to hunger when they are together) is Wrong?
E is then saying that any food that they got wasnt enough to kill their hunger ( and therefore the ate eachother)
What am i missing?????

What im struggling with is picking the answer- when i pick my answer im like 100% its correct and then i find out im wrong. Im picking the ans with with the most relevance and still getting it wrong! WHAT DO I DO?
eg: Pt3 sec 2
PT3 Sec 4
Like i just dont understand why these are the ans, when the ans i have picked are relevant to the passage
So I keep making the same number of mistakes. I've been on AP for the last two days and for some reason theres something Im clearly doing thats hindering my part and my ability to fix my mistake. Any idea? PLEASE HELP
For eg : PT 78 Sec 3 Q04--> I picked B even though I did consider C
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you so much @buytrafficexpress251
