24.   Somewhere, somehow, what was once a perfectly good rule by which to live was twisted into the false and sinister idea that “Money is the root of all evil.” To the contrary, the proper use of money provides us with the food, clothes, health care, and shelter that we all need to sustain our lives.

The author’s argument is logically flawed in that it

(A) uses examples that do not refute the generalization that all evil is rooted in money

(B) uses inappropriate examples to demonstrate the proper use of money

(C) ignores some of the evil things that money can buy

(D) fails to acknowledge that food, clothes, health care, and shelter can sometimes lead to evil（A）

(E) fails to recognize that money can be used for a lot of other good things besides sustenance

once a perfectly good rule by which to live was twisted into the false and sinister idea that “Money is the root of all evil.”

这里的once a perfectly good rule 指的是A选项的all evil is rooted in money吗？

Not really.  "Money is the root of all evil" is the result of the twisting.  The "once a perfectly good rule" is something more benign, less sinister, and thus truer.
