PT4.S1.Q6 - Sims does which one...

why is D incorrect? In responding to the Rotelle, Sims shows that the same could be said about Rotelle's youth and inexperience when it comes to age, so isn't that thereby showing he is contradicting himself? How should one choose between D and E?

He doesn't actually say Rotelle is too young and inexperienced. That's a jump the test writer is cueing you to make. But they're not the boss of us.

I think sims says bc of I don’t wanna issue age as a factor, I don’t consider your inexperience and youth , so he implies that the first person is youth and inexperienced

No it doesn’t. Sims just says I know you are youth and inexperienced but I don’t comment on it, so what ? Why you don’t issue Rottle’s reasoning that he concluded: being old is the reason for not being competent at addressing the issues facing the country?
I hope this help you 😊
