E is wrong because Earning a degree in psychology requires X (experimental design) and Y (developmental psychology) to be completed.sirisha.g wrote:On completing both the course in experimental design and the developmental psychology course, Angela will have earned a degree in psychology.

Simply doing Y without X would not do.

Having completed "developmental psychology" does not mean that "experimental design" was completed.sirisha.g wrote:On completing both the course in experimental design and the developmental psychology course, Angela will have earned a degree in psychology.

May be she is still to complete "experimental design".
So by POE...D remains
But is not D very general statement. And we should always avoid generalized statements (broad statements).

In the stimulus, it says "Since experimental design, which must be completed before taking developmental psychology" Experimental design is a pre-requisite to taking developmental psychology. Therefore, if you have taken developmental psychology --> you must have taken experimental design.FightWithGMAT wrote:

D -- makes too many assumptions. Think about it -- ANYONE who earns a degree in PSYCHOLOGY...that's like saying
EX. David needed to take Econ 106F in order to graduate. Anyone who earns a degree in Economics will have completed Econ 106F. Um, no I definitely graduated with a degree in Economics and did not NEED to take Econ 106F.
Hope that helps.
