Why is A the right answer? Isn't A just the contrapositive of E?

    Hey! So A is not the contrapositive of E. You cannot contrapose "most" statements. E is wrong because it focuses on bills that have passed, not ones that haven't. For all we know, there could be many other requirements for a bill to pass; we have no idea. Our conclusion is focused on a bill not passing. This where A is correct. If we add A in there, that makes our conclusion that the bill won't pass even more likely and lines up very well with our other premise.

    Hope this helps!
