Incorrect Answer Explanations?

I understand why E is the right answer, but all the reasons I came up with the other's being wrong really don't match the explanation.

It is just that large nurseries most tend to sell to commercial growers C) Reversal of quantifier, illegal like the explanation says D) well run isn't in the stimulus and selling raspberry plants to commercial raspberry growers isn't sufficient for anything Can someone let me know if I am off base on why the incorrects are incorrect?

Hi Rswafra,

I think your reasons are not that far off from the ones we had, in fact, your response for A, and C are pretty much identical.

A wrong answer is often wrong for more than one reason. This is particularly true for must be true questions. All wrong answers are wrong for the reason that they are not proven by the passage, but there can be more than one reason for this, and more than one way to articulate this. I think that all of your reasons for eliminating are valid.
