So our stimulus looks like this:

OT ---> AP and ~Ask

But we also learn that AP ---> Ask

So this means we cannot have OT (On Time).

So the reasoning used is that an idea depends on one thing occurring and the other not occurring.

We then learn that the occurrence of one thing leads necessarily to the occurrence of that other thing. This means that the sufficient condition can never happen.

Would not check A first since its conclusion contains probably. I am hunting for something matter of factly stated.

Do not like the presentment of B on a first soft read. It is not telling me how the sufficient condition will be denied.

I would not check answer choice C right off of the bat as I see a conditional conclusion (unless is used). We had a matter of fact conclusion.

I can see that again, D is not looking good either. It is not giving me those 2 necessary conditions.

Answer choice E fits our reasoning perfectly.

RV ---> BW and ~S

We learn that BW ---> S

Therefore no RV.
