Hi,

For answer choice A, several explanations I've seen say that there is no indication that the parent prohibited the son or daughter from consenting to the transplant. But the father 'strongly objected to transplantation of organs from live donors'. Wouldn't that imply that the father would prohibit her daughter from consenting to the transplant? Is this because of 'would' vs 'did'? Is it the fact that although the father most likely would have prohibited his daughter from consenting, the fact remains that there is no indication he actually did prohibit her?

Hi kcho10,

Yes. If answer choice A said that "unless the son or daughter believed that the parent would prohibit the son or daughter from doing so," it would change the dynamic. Then answer choice A and E would both be contenders. Since it says "prohibited" and there is no indication that he prohibited her from doing it, A is incorrect.

Best of luck
