Confusion with (A)

Hi LSAT Max, For answer choice (A), I wasn't confident that it was 100% correct because of my concern over "i cannot stop sneezing" vs. "i just sneezed". For the stimulus, it establishes that one sting is enough, but I didn't see that same certainty when it came to the answer choice because it said stop sneezing (which means sneezing more than once, right?). Could someone help clear my confusion? Many thanks in advance!

Hi @Julie-V,

Thanks for the question! The wording is a little bit different, but what's important here as always is to note that (A) is clearly the best answer choice out of all the others. Even though the wording might be a little off, the logical structure is still there, and so we pick (A). If there were another answer that was also well-structured and didn't have the same "can't stop sneezing" vs. "just sneezed" once problem, then we'd pick that one, but there's not. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any further questions you may have.
