Complete Question Explanation
Cannot Be True. The correct answer choice is (A)
This stimulus is fairly straightforward, providing several facts about a certain country:
When it’s humid, it’s hard to grow cactus. When it’s cold, its hard to raise oranges.
Still, in the majority of the country, it is easy to grow one or the other.
The question stem requires us to find the answer choice that cannot be true.
Answer choice (A): This is the correct answer choice. If half the country is both humid and cold, then in that half, it is difficult to grow both cacti and oranges. This cannot be true if, as the stimulus provides, one can easily grow one or the other in the majority of the country.
Answer choice (B): This is possible—we are not told of the effects of heat.
Answer choice (C): This choice simply provides that some (a totally vague term)areas are conducive to easy growing of both cacti and oranges.
Answer choice (D): This answer choice is possible, as long as the majority of the country allows for easy growing of oranges.
Answer choice (E): It is possible to have difficulty growing cacti in most of the country, as long as there are sufficient areas on which one could easily grow oranges.
