@rzamor87,
Great question.
Diagramming the stimulus, we have
Profitably Sell -> Discount.
No High Volume -> No Discount.
High Volume -> Cater to Mass Tastes OR Specialized Market Access.
If we take the contrapositive of the second statement, we can link up
all of the terms
2nd statement: No High Volume -> No Discount
Contrapositive of 2nd statement: Discount - >High Volume
Profitably Sell - >Discount - >High Volume - >Cater to Mass Tastes or
Specialized Market Access
Let's take a look at (E).
(E) says, "A bookstore that not only caters to mass tastes but also
has exclusive access to a large specialized market cannot profitably
sell books at below-market prices."
(E) doesn't follow from the diagram. Here's how (E)'s diagram looks:
Bookstore that caters to mass tastes and has exclusive access to a
large specialized market - >not profitably sell books at below-market
prices
(E) contradicts the last statement in the chain. In order for the
contrapositive to work, both of the flipped conditions must be
negated, and they're not both negated with (E), so we can get rid of
this choice.
Does this make sense? Let us know if you have any other questions!
