PT1 S3 Q14, logical reasoning (Difficulty level= 1)

Level one difficulty and i am stumped. The stim gives me MS-->MP. Contra is ~MP-->~MS.
Answer choice B says historically MS-->MP.

Obviously I have this wrong if someone could point out my errors I would appreciate it.

B is inferring causation. It is actually impossible to have an MS before the development of an MP.

You don't need to diagram this question probably.

MS ---> MP is a correct diagramming, but B is saying causation. Yes MP is necessary for MS, but it isn't the cause of MS (which would diagram out as MP->MS aka an illegal reversal. There may be other things (such as a stable monetary policy)

E says ~MS, which we know because the stim says Meso ~MP. If the necessary condition cannot be satisified, the sufficient condition cannot be true. Therefore ~MS must be true.

ETA^ That is the contrapositive: ~MP ---> ~MS

Not sure what happened in the few hours I was gone...
Hope it went well Dirigo! It's hard to know how phone interviews go, but I'm sure you did fine.
I also find it funny how everyone is calling you Dirigo, the newbies are so proper.

Thanks JackelJ!
He said he'll let me know by Monday. If bad news, then I have an interview for a different job next week so I'll be better prepared for the questions that will be asked.

Currently nothing worth mentioning. The program that I'm applying for is so outside of my educational background and work experiences thus far, so it's a bit out of left field.

Outside of Dade, Broward, & Palm Beach County, probably not a significant number. But very very large jewish population in South Florida. A ton of New York transplants and their younger generations.

TLS Whisperer. Cesar Milan stole his spot on Nat Geo Wild a while back, so Drigo's pitching a new idea to Animal Planet about observing gunners in their natural habitat. If he doesn't get the job, he's interviewing with the History Channel and proposing a new show on Aliens and the timeless debate of whether Georgetown qualifies as T14, or if it was just a hoax and the entire world's been misled. Additional guest appearance by Jesus Christ himself, who's actually an alien.

In fact, I found this image of Drigo:
