My choice is D because the original statement is saying that Simmons is a Biology Professor but not a Darwinist.

I think its E... you have to diagram it

BP -------> Darwinist

Statement E basically says this, so I would choose this. With choice D Simmons is not a Darwinist, but that doesn't mean that he isn't a Darwinist professor, meaning he may not subscribe to the theory but he could teach the theory.

D. Simmons is not an Darwinist biology professors.
E. Aside from the biology professors Simmons, if someone is a biology professor, then he or she is a Darwinist.
A. it says simmons is also darwinist --wrong
B. Simmons is non-biology professor -- wrong
C. Biology professor darwinist , simmon non-darwinist biology professor -- correct
D. not clear whether simmon is biology professor or not -- wrong
E. seems to be correct too.

Both E & C .. which is more appropriate..C is a bit confusing using two times biology professor .
So I go with E.

What's the OA on this one? Your explanation makes logical sense to me Osirus, but in my head D is clearer.. assuming that the "an" is supposed to be "a"
