Solution:

Question Stem Analysis:

We need to determine the number of pages of a certain journal article.

Statement One Alone:

Knowing the size of each page does not allow us to determine the number of pages of the journal article. Statement one alone is not sufficient.

Statement Two Alone:

Knowing the average number of words per page does not allow us to determine the number of pages of the journal article. Statement two alone is not sufficient.

Statements One and Two Together:

Knowing both the size of each page and the average number of words per page still would not allow us to determine the number of pages of the journal article. Both statements together are not sufficient.

Answer: E
