Jones is selling a house to Smith. The contract between the two specifies that for up to a year after ownership is transferred. Jones will be responsible for repairing any “major structural defects,” defined as defects in the roof or roof-supporting components of the house that might be found. Jones is not responsible for any other repairs. The house has a truss roof which means that the only walls that support the roof are the exterior walls.
It can be properly concluded from the information above that
(A) Jones did not know of any defects in the roof or roof-supporting components of the house at the time the contract was written
(B) although other components of the house may contain defects the roof and roof-supporting components of the house are currently free from such defects
(C) the contract does not oblige Jones to repair any defects in the house’s nonexterior walls after ownership of the house has been transferred
(D) Smith will be obliged to repair all structural defects in the house within a year after ownership is transferred except those for which Jones is responsible
(E) in the past Jones has had to make repairs to some of the house’s exterior walls

Ans: C
(C) the contract does not oblige Jones to repair any defects in the house’s nonexterior walls after ownership of the house has been transferred
John will repair only defects in the roof or roof-supporting components of the house. Support the roof are the exterior walls. So, C is correct.
D is false because smith is not obliged to do so. Simply he doesn't want to repair.
(C) the contract does not oblige Jones to repair any defects in the house’s nonexterior walls after ownership of the house has been transferred
John will repair only defects in the roof or roof-supporting components of the house. Support the roof are the exterior walls. So, C is correct.
D is false because smith is not obliged to do so. Simply he doesn't want to repair.

Passage doesn't mention anything about the present structure of the house i.e. what is damaged, what is not. So this is out of scope

Correct - Jones is obliged to repair any defects in the exterior walls and he is not obliged for others.
Quote:
Contract mentions only the duties that Jones is obliged to, not what Smith will be obliged to. Smith can accept the other damages or work on it as he wishes to
