why is b wrong please

is it wrong because "prefer not to punish their child" is different from never punish their child

Hi @Motunrayo-Bamgbose-Martins, Thanks for the question! You got it. We can’t equate “never punishing a child” and “preferring to not punish a child.” So since we’re not even dealing with the same premises, this can’t be the correct answer. Also, new terms are introduced from one premise to another. This is clearly not a closer fit than the correct answer choice. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
