The key here is realizing that your contrapositive in your stimulus is:not M or not I ==> not DFW
This means that either is sufficient for "not DFW".
Either interpretation of "not moral and intelligent" gets you to the same place so (C) would still be the correct answer here.
Hope that helps! Please let us know if you have any other questions.

I also have a question about #5Option D
"if a democracy does not function well, then the electorate is not moral or not intelligent"
(DFW)----> (MorI) parentheses for negative...i understand that that is a reversal but wouldnt the contra-positive of that be M&I ----> FW which is exactly what our original stem is?? or does the contra-positive have to match the contra-positive of the original stem? and the positive argument match the positive??? If that's the case then I don't understand how C is the answer because the positive form of C matches the contrapositive argument of the stem?
