Got the right answer but have a question

Is it fair to say that option A is knocked out by the last sentence?

Hi @andreaskormusis,

Thanks for the question! Yes, that’s how I interpret it as well. The last sentence precludes option (A); it’d be a good answer for some kind of “disagree” question. Because it seems like they should just not use “in a surprise development.” Although it’s not just the last sentence, I think the second sentence has relevance as well.

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