14. If the proposed tax reduction package s adopted this year, the library will be forced to discontinue its daily story hours for children. But if the daily story hours are discontinued, many parents will be greatly inconvenienced. So the proposed tax reduction package will be adopted this year.

Which one of the following, if assumed, allows the argument’s conclusion to be properly drawn?

(A) Any tax reduction package that will not force the library to discontinue daily story hours will be adopted this year.

(B) Every tax reduction package that would force the library to discontinue daily story hours would greatly inconvenience parents.

(C) No tax reduction package that would greatly inconvenience parents would fail to force the library to discontinue daily story hours.

(D) No tax reduction package that would greatly inconvenience parents will be adopted this year.

(E) Any tax reduction package that will not greatly inconvenience parents will be adopted this year.

the answer is (d), why? i chose (c). i can't figure it out.

First of all, thank you for answering many questions on this section.

I think you missed "not" in the last sentence.

D is very straightforward. And it is typical. In the argument, the reasoning is like this:
A-->B-->C ==>Not A. And in D, C-->not A, just following the original link to get "not A".

In C, C-->B. Put it back into the reasoning A-->B-->C-->B. We cannot get "not A" here.

so the last sentence should be ".. tax reduction package will NOT be adopted this year"? if so, i think i got it. thanks for answering my question.

btw, i am dealing with lsat these days, so whenever i met the questions i did and ppl asked, i'd like to discuss with ppl. it also helps me.

thanks again
