Hello, I don't understand option B for this question

wait is it because the only conclusion that would make this valid would be om -> not P?

Hi @Slade, Thanks for the question! So diagramming the original stimulus, we see that the structure is Volleyball —> Badly sunburned Work today —> ~Badly sunburned Therefore: VP —> ~Work today Which can be abstracted to A —> B C —> ~B Therefore: A —> ~C Which we get by (for example) taking the contrapositive of the second statement and then linking it to the first statement. Now let’s take a look at (B). Diagramming this, we get Promoted —> ~Fail to attend awards banquet Office manager —> ~Promoted Therefore: Office manager —> Fail to attend awards banquet Which can be abstracted as A —> ~B C —> ~A Therefore: C —> B Which is obviously different from the first construction, and actually not even a valid argument (unlike the stimulus). Thus, for this parallel reasoning question, (B) is wrong. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
