I wrote out my conditional for answer choice E as this:

Independent--> (/TF and EB)

Is that ok?

The video wrote Independent and /TF--> EB.

    It should be Independent --> (/TF or EB); therefore, (Independent and TF) --> EB. No independent store could sell TF and /EB.

    You could conclude /TF--> EB if it said the stores sell one or both of TF and EB. You have to watch for instances where the diff between 'most' and 'some' is germane to the argument, but I don't think this is one of those times. A store could be in the minority and only sell lizards or whatever.

    How do you know its an "or" instead of an "and" in between (/TF or EB)?
