Hi rm_reykjavic!
I think you're on the right track-- what our two perspectives here do is compare using someone's home wifi to different, existing crimes. Gerald compares it to trespassing, and states that no, it would not qualify as trespassing. Kendra compares it to loitering or harassment, and says that yes, it would potentially qualify as loitering or harassment.
You're absolutely right, Kendra may or may not think that using someone's home wifi is comparable to trespassing. We just have no context upon which to determine that. In fact, Gerald and Kendra may even agree that using someone's home wifi is NOT, in fact, trespassing. Gerald doesn't think so, and we just don't know Kendra's opinion. Therefore, Answer Choice B cannot be our answer.
What can we determine based off of this? Kendra and Gerald disagree about their conclusion, and they use different premises/crimes to make their arguments. The conclusion questions if using someone's home wifi is a crime, or not. Gerald says no, Kendra says yes. That is our key point of contention.
I hope this helps!
