    The people of Olama Village share a religious tradition, which includes the tenet that no eggs be consumed that have been locally produced. If the people are to maintain their religious traditions, then they may not prepare dishes for the upcoming festival using locally produced eggs.

    Which of the following, if true, most undermines the conclusion stated in the passage to the left?

    A. Many of the village youths choose to ignore the strictest tenets of religious tradition.
    B. Most of the eggs in the local market were imported from overseas.
    C. Most of the dishes for the upcoming festival will feature grains and vegetables, rather than animal products.
    D. The local egg farmers have struggled with a recent bird flu, and have been forced to purchase new livestock at the regional market.
    E. For the upcoming festival, prepared dishes are to be used as shrine ornaments and will be discarded when the festival has finished.

    Premise: Speaks about consumption
    Conclusion: Speaks about offering.
    E weakens the conclusion by saying that offering could still be possible [Villagers are not going to consume]
