D) Is incorrect as Taffy is next to a kitten and violates the 2nd rule.
E) Is incorrect as Taffy is in the first pen and violates the 1st rule.

Perfect, cargostud! A rule-by-rule approach to this question will eliminate all four wrong answers, leaving behind only one that breaks no rules and could therefore work. Well done! That approach can be used on any list question like this one, although sometimes you will have a diagram that is so complete that it might be faster to just compare each answer to the diagram rather than go rule by rule. Not this time, though, and you did it exactly right.
