Sorry for reposting this, I put it as a reply to someone else thread last time.
Here is the question I'm concerned about. The "correct" answer is B, which I hope stupifies you as much as me. If I had to hazard a guess as to a correct answer I would have chose D. But in any event, both B and D both assume she has to vote for one candidate, and from my analysis, she is required to do neither. In any case, Can ANYONE out there justify answer B????
Whenever she considers voting in an election to select one candidate for a position and there is at least one issue important to her, Kay uses the following principle in choosing which course of action to take: it is acceptable for me to vote for a candidate whose opinions differ from mine on at least one issue important to me whenever I disagree with each of the other candidates on even more such issues; it is otherwise unacceptable to vote for that candidate. In the upcoming mayoral election, the three candidates are Legrand, Medina, and Norton. There is only one issue important to Kay, and only Medina shares her oppinions on that issue.
According to the principle stated in the passage, in the upcoming mayoral election
(A) it is acceptable for Kay to vote for either Medina or Legrand, but it is unacceptable for her to vote for Norton
(B) the only unacceptable courses of action are for Kay to vote for Norton and for her to vote for Legrand
(C) it is unacceptable for Kay to vote for any of the candidates
(D)the only acceptable course of action is for Kay to vote for medina
(E)it is acceptable for kay to vote for any of the candidates
