I don't get this question.

I chose B and the answer is E.

I understand how it could be E, but I think B is a better answer.

B would most strengthen Sabrina's argument because it anticipates a possible rebuttal to Sabina's argument. The rebuttal being that the chemical synthesis might be an ingredient in the cookie's that is unnatural(chemical synthesis sounds pretty unnatural.). Therefore the label would be wrong.

Even if E was true, it does not dispute this rebuttal.

Bolded in your reasoning is what is considered 'illogical' by the LSAT. Strengthening an argument in this case ONLY means solidifying the line of reasoning used in the scenario.

168 on my diagnostic, high of 180 (once), then 177 (4x).
I got a couple prep books but I found them generally useless, so I went to the tests.

If you only have five tests taken, then I'd say wait. That's just me though
