Hi Everyone,
I just did question 18 in Section 2 of PT 77 and I am confused by the language in answer choice D. It says "fails to exclude the possibility that there might be legitimate evidence motivating those who reject Shakespeare's authorship". The fails to exclude part threw me off and I was hoping someone could better explain that to me. Thanks!

I have not seen language exactly like this. Is it a flaw question? Sounds like it could be saying ..."Did you consider (this) possibility before coming to that conclusion? Or did you get rid of (this) possibility before coming to your conclusion?
That's how im reading it. Maybe others are as well.
The way I interpreted the "fails to exclude" as the argument makes it conclusion but does so without addressing the legitimate possibility that the proponents of the argument has actual evidence behind the claims.
