I would pay attention to the conclusion in pattern the reasoning questions.
The stimulus gave us this reasoning.
J Capture ---> LR
Many cases of ~LR
Many cases of ~J Capture (Should not have done it)
Answer choices
(A) This is negated logic.
Only way ---> J
~Only way
Therefore, ~J. There can be a multitude of ways to arrive at J, just because this sufficient condition is absent does not mean we cannot arrive at J.
(B) Child reg behaves in ways disturb ---> Parents that never punish are ~J
Then we are given a premise about parents that prefer not to punish. This is not something to continue on with at this point. These ideas of preferring not to punish and never punishing are not equivalent.
(C) J Punish ---> Welfare
Many ~Welfare
Therefore, many ~J Punish (Should not have been)
A great match.
(D) Entitled to punish ---> Explicit permission
Many ~EP
The problem is in the conclusion, like you said. Way too broad. Should not punish their pupils is not a good match. Does not allow for the ones that have EP to be punished.
(E) Not a good match from the start. Society has no right to punish. Then states a society has a right to protect itself. It is not giving us the contrapositive we want to see.
