Hi @WHEELZ622,Thanks for the question! So the premise does state that Mark wasn’t in an accident, but the answer doesn’t admit the main conclusion that he was. Answer choice (D) tells us that Mark was wrong in telling his mother that he had missed her birthday party because he was in a traffic accident. It doesn’t say anything about whether or not Mark actually was in a traffic accident, only that it was wrong of him to tell his mother that he had missed her party because he had been in one. The main conclusion relies on the reasoning later on in the passage that Mark had just forgotten about the party, which is the premise that’s talked about in the video. So the answer choice doesn’t contradict the passage, if that’s the worry here. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
