Hi grunerlokka,
Our stimulus has the valid reasoning of a statement and its contrapositive.
Old evidence→ ~ Proven
Proven → ~ Old evidence
That's what we see in the correct answer choice (B).
Take train → ~Nantes in morning
In Nantes in morning → ~Not take train
Answer choice (A) is different. It's a conditional statement, and a situation that fits into that conditional.
Old list→ ~Buy house within the last year
Smith old list
Smith ~buy house within the last year.
Hope that helps!
