Why is D incorrect?

I know that E is the correct answer and I got it right, but I would also like to know why D is incorrect because hairdryers and razors cannot be together? So, can you please show why D is incorrect? Thanks

Hi @Balwant,

Thanks for the question! So this depends on a careful reading of the question. It asks us to assume that Henri’s using two appliances and not the microwave oven. So now we’re asked for a list of all of the appliances, other than the microwave oven, that Henri can’t be using. It doesn’t say that the appliances have to be used together. So (D) isn’t saying that Henri is using the hairdryer and razor together. It’s just saying that the hairdryer and razor are two appliances, in this case, which can’t ever be picked. And that’s not true, because although you can’t use them together, you could use them with other appliances. Whereas that’s not the case with (E).

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
