Hello!👋



So, the negation is the following:

If Mike happens to have a positive opinion of a movie, it is not necessarily the case that Chris wants to see it.

Hey! thanks again! :)

So there is no answer choice for this one (please see in the attached file) because even if we negate D , the original assumption could still be true ?


So, the negation is, if x is true, it not necessarily the case that y is true.

If the negated version I provided above is true, then it is not the case that "we can conclude that Chris must now want to see this movie." After all, if it is not necessarily the case that Chris wants to see a movie that Mike happens to have a positive opinion of, then it does not make sense to conclude that Chris wants to see this movie.

So, the negated version wrecks the argument, and (D) is the correct answer.
