  I think the fact she warned her neighbor implies he was housing refugees and she knew it. Which would mean she wasn't being truthful

  "You should evade politely or refuse unless the person asking the question is a government official. Then you should answer truthfully"
  This isn't an exact quote but this contains what the question stem was saying
  EP=evade politely
  R=refuse
  GO=government official
  AT=answer truthfully
  /GO--->EP or R
  /EP and /R --->GO--->AT

  Mary evaded the question against a GO. Which she is allowed to do without breaking the established rules. I guess the question really expects you to think the fact she warned her neighbor implies she's lying. Which is kinda extreme in pushing what we should infer.

  With that said E is the right answer because a insurance adjuster isn't a government official. So answering evasively with a insurance adjuster would be correct, which is what E states.

  I don't like this question because it requires way to much inferences to be made that aren't explicit

  Thank you @BlueRiceCake !!

  I completely overlooked the part about evading questions politely. I was seriously stuck on this one when reviewing it. This is making me realize I need to slow it down when reading especially when doing my blind reviews.
