Could you please explain why E is incorrect? Arguably, it's the flipside of B? Thank you!

Hi cd1010!

We don't know Sam's view on the material in answer choice (E). The stimulus suggests Sam has views about people who do research their conditions. He seems to think that Michaela views the doctor's opinion and the opinion of the person who looked a condition up online to be of equal weight, though Michaela doesn't actually say that.

It's certainly possible that Sam might think that "patients who do not research their conditions on the Internet give their doctors’ opinions more consideration," as noted in (E). But that doesn't reflect how he specifically interpreted Michaela's remarks.
