Should vs Should not - Parallel Method of Reasoning Question

cat.casa

For the parallel method of reasoning questions, if the stimulus concludes with "therefore they should not do this thing." Can we eliminate answers based on the negation in the conclusion? Like if the conclusion in the answer choice largely matches, but says "therefore they should do this thing" can we eliminate it because it doesn't match the negation?
Like for should/should not statements, does it have to match directly?
Thanks!

That depends on the question. Does that negation mess up the reasoning? If no, then you don't eliminate it. If it does, you eliminate it. The whole thing behind PMOR questions is that the AC and the stimulus have to match in reasoning. Its just like working the same math problem only with different numbers twice. If your still in doubt and have the time, I would check my other AC to make sure I can eliminate them before I eliminate that choice.
