(A) The new policy ought to provide equal protection from any noise and odors associated with bringing pets to the workplace on Fridays to all employees. -> this is OOS
(B) Employees with enclosed offices should not bring their pets with them to work on Fridays, even though the new policy allows them to do so. -> this is OOS
(C) Professionals who do not wish to bring their pets to work with them on Fridays should keep their enclosed offices. -> negate this no effect
(D) The new policy is intended to allow all employees who wish to bring their pets to work with them on Fridays the opportunity to do so. -> this is correct if we negate this no need to provide offices to support staff
(E) The policy is intended to allow support staff to bring their pets with them on Fridays, even if they do not have enclosed offices. -> this is opp to what the argument says
Explain your answer! thanks
