    And if my breakdown doesn't make sense - you'll definitely want to go through the core curriculum section on conditional logic - "Introduction to Logic"

    Good question.

    This is relying on your understanding of conditional logic. in the stimulus it is saying that If you are A you cannot be B. Gerald cannot be B so he must be A.

    Granted, this is actually a flawed argument, but it doesn't matter. You need to find the answer where the conclusion is being made by satisfying the necessary condition which is "not being B"

    AC B is the only one that does this by satisfying the necessary (invalid).

    You'll notice that AC A satisfies the sufficient (which is valid),

    AC C negates the necessary (valid)

    AC D satisfies the sufficient.

    AC E is just stupid wrong because it introduces a 3rd option that wasn't in the premise.

    Does this make more sense?
