Wanna Be's Reality show--no OA

B. Most of the people who audition become contestants on Wanna Be's.

C. There is more nausea among auditioners for Wanna Be's than among producers of Wanna Be's.

D.No auditioner who doesn't feel anxiety has nausea.

E.Most of the auditioners for Wanna Be's who become contestants have nausea.[/quote
Premise 1: Anxiety + External Pressure -> Nausea
Premise 2: producers like to choose contestants who feel anxiety

so, assuming that the producers do in fact choose the contestants who feel anxiety (i'm a tad worried about this since liking something doesnt mean doing it e.g. simon likes the choosing blondes on american idol, but that doesn't mean he'll select them if they have a horrible voice. Anyways, if this is valid, and the producers do in fact have the final say on who becomes a contestant, then i guess this answer works. Too many ifs and buts, BUT, this appears to be the best answer.

E for moi

A. out of scope

B.irrelevant

C. irrelevant

D.very very close but the fact states that a combination of anxiety and external pressure leads to nausea, but it won't deny that if this combination won't appear, nausea won't appear either. Therefore, there is still possibility that nausea could appear although one of those 2 elements doesn't appear. So, this choice fails

E. the producers like to choose contestant who feel anxiety-------> means that they mostly choose anxiety contestant,and rather not all the time choose anxiety contestant. So pick this

SO D strongly holds its waters right?? It directly comes from the premises. I am not sure if this is a conclusion or inference based one....
