Anthropologist: Violence is an extreme form of aggression and is distinct from the self-expression sufficient for survival under notmal conditions. Human beings in certain situations react to unpleasant stimuli with violence - but only because they are conditioned by their culture to react in this manner.
Each of the following can be logically inferred form the anthropologist's statements, EXCEPT :
A. Not all aggression is violent.
B. The self-expression required for survival is generally non-aggressive.
C. Some behaviors are influenced by the cultures in which human beings live.
D. Under normal circumstances, human beings can survive by responding non-violently.
E. Violent behavior is a product of one's cultural environment.

Since the question is "all can be inferred except :" we need to see which ones are true and then eliminate those options
A. "Violence is an extreme form of aggression" - means forms of aggression exist which are non-violent. This option seems to be true. Eliminate option.
B. It is nowhere mentioned that the self expression required for survival is non-aggressive. We only know that violence is distinct from self-expression necessary for survival (from second part of first statement). Not true. Let's keep this for now.
C. ".... because they are conditioned by their culture to react in this manner." This statement talks about reaction of human beings, being influenced by culture. Option seems to be true. Eliminate.
D. The first statement tells us that violence is extreme form of aggression + violence is distinct from the self-expression required for survival under normal conditions. This option seems correct. Eliminate.
E. The second statement "....react to unpleasant stimuli with violence" + "... because they are conditioned by their culture to react in this manner" means violence is a result of cultural conditioning. Option is true. Eliminate.
Only option left is B. Hence, mark B.

Each of the following can be logically inferred form the anthropologist's statements, EXCEPT :
A. Not all aggression is violent. -- True within scope. As violence is extreme form of aggression and is distinct form of elf-expression sufficient for survival.
B. The self-expression required for survival is generally non-aggressive. -- Some form of aggression which is not violent still under scope of normal self expression. We can not infer that people generally do not choose to be little aggressive.
C. Some behaviors are influenced by the cultures in which human beings live. -- Last sentence address this part.
D. Under normal circumstances, human beings can survive by responding non-violently. -- Under scope -- can -- leaves the probability.
E. Violent behavior is a product of one's cultural environment. -- can be inferred from last sentence.
