So in this instance the "no" affects the necessary condition and not the sufficient condition. Is this a rule stated in our previous lessons?
This was the sole reason I became lost on this problem.

@Emanuel-Centeno, in essence, yes. The reason this isn't the rule stated in previous lessons is because this is flawed reasoning. Parallel flawed reasoning can be difficult because you're starting with a flawed argument and need to find another flawed argument that is flawed for the same reason. Yes, the initial question confuses a necessary condition with a sufficient condition, which is flawed. So you must find the answer choice that does the same thing.
Does that make sense?
