Answer: E

* (1) Insufficient: We don't know if Appaloosa is a member.
* (2) Insufficient: Not being a member tells us nothing about whether it exports.
* Together:
Member → Exports
Not Member → ?
Could export or not export.

Important: Never assume Not A → Not B from A → B.

Answer: E — even together, insufficient.

Statement 1: All members export to Indonesia. But you don't know if Appaloosa is a member. Insufficient.

Statement 2: Appaloosa isn't a member. Says nothing about whether it exports — non-members can still export. Insufficient.

Together: All members export, and Appaloosa is a non-member. The logical trap is reading this as "therefore it doesn't export." But "all members export" says nothing whatsoever about non-members. Appaloosa could export independently, or not at all. Both remain possible → E.

The formal name for the error is denying the antecedent. "If member → exports" does not give you "if not member → doesn't export." The only valid flip is the contrapositive: "if doesn't export → not a member."

A quick sketch makes it obvious — draw a big circle for "exporters to Indonesia," and a smaller circle for "association members" fully inside it. Appaloosa is outside the members circle. It can sit either inside or outside the exporters circle. Nothing pins it down.
