With regards to answer choice D. It conflates working on the second floor with having an office on the second floor. I immediately thought that simply working on the second floor does not mean you have an office on the second floor, but of course this had nothing to do with the actual answer. Generally speaking, I often find I nit-pick when I shouldn't and I fail to nit-pick when I should. How can someone address this?

I think it's important if the distinction you think you're seeing is relevant to the question. You're certainly right that we cannot assume that everyone who works on the second floor has an office there, but it just seems unreasonable to treat this the other way around. Sure, it's possible that someone may have an office on two but do most of their work in the cafeteria, but i think we would consider that person as working on two, and critically, those mean the same thing. Any reasonable person would assume that if you have an office on two, you work on two. It's really just a common sense application, but if you'll feel silly defending a position, you're probably leaning too much into nitpicking.
