wilbur is over six feet tall. the statement above can be logically deduced from which of the following statements?
(a) the average height of the members of the basketball team is over six feet; wilbur is the center on the basketball team.
(b)if wilbur was not asked to join the navy army, then he is not six feet tall; wilbur was asked to join the navy army.
(c)if wilbur is over six feet tall, then he can see the parade; wilbur can see the parade.
(d)in dr. gray's seminar, everyone who is not over six feel tall is seated in the first row; dr. gray seated wilbur in the second row.
(e)everyone who is over six feet tall has to help stack cartons in the stockroom; wilbur has to help stack cartons.

Why Not E ?? E looks the right answer to me.

E can be eliminated. in E it is mentioned that everyone who is over six feet tall has to help stack cartons in the stockroom; wilbur has to help stack cartons. but it is not mentioned where? so wilbur can stack cartons anywhere and thus be less than six feet

A - Definately Not the Answer

B - He can be just 6 feet too. It doesn't qualify him for being above 6 feet

C - My bets on this answer. This is the right answer.

D - No one knows whether Dr. Gray seated him in the second row of his seminar or just some other seminar

E - As written in the above post. This cant also be the answer.

My Answer : C
