Because I have not personally taken PR cour...

thanks for the explanation,
During the test, I considered ...plan on practicing... unidiomatic. But, I think in situations like these we need to pick the better choice, not necessarily the perfect one.

I agree with you Vijay.
The word NOT in choice B makes a very strong statement and we can not deduce this from the argument.
Infact, in most of the CR of these types, such strong statements are almost always wrong. (same goes for RC)
Thanks...
