Consumer: A new law requires all cigarette packaging to display health warnings, disturbing pictures of smoking-relat...

I guess I see the difference in the answers because D deals directly with the packaging on the cigarettes but I don't completely see why B doesn't work?

Hi @Alexandra,

Thanks for the question! We can actually diagram both of these statements, which might help to draw out their differences. (B) is diagrammed

Look at disturbing pics frequently —> Affect smoking habits

(D) is diagrammed

~Frequently look —> ~Affect smoking habits

So these two are actually reversals/negations of each other! One must be right and fit with the stimulus, and the other must be wrong. Here, (D) is the one that completes the argument.

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