#19 - Principle: When none of the fully qualified candidates

[Adam Tyson]

The language "of all the candidates who do not work for Arvue" strongly suggests that there are at least some that DO work there. If I said "of all the humans who are not currently living on the international space station, Jones is the likely to be the next one to live there", you would be okay inferring that there are some people that do live there.

But we don't need to infer that in order to eliminate answer B, noobie, because the answer at least ALLOWS for some candidates to be currently working there! That is, it does nothing to eliminate that possibility, and since we can't know whether any candidates work there or what we should do if they do, this answer cannot justify the conclusion. There's an unknown factor that leaves us in limbo! Limbo is no good when you want certainty. So, whether you make that inference or not, B still isn't as good an answer as E is, because E is perfect.
