This is from Kaplan:
Ronald is a runner on the track team and is a great hurdler. All runners on the track team are either sprinters or long distance runners, but a few long distance runners do not run the sprint because they are not fast enough. Hurdlers never run long distance because they lack the endurance necessary. Therefore, Ronald must be fast.
For the conclusion drawn above to be logically correct, which of the following must be true?
A..
B..
C..
D All sprinters are fast.
E. Every runner on the track team who is fast is a sprinter.
THe OA is D, but wouldn't E make sense as well? IF every runner on the track team who is fast is a sprinter is true, and since Ronald is a sprinter, he must be fast.
Please help!

D is correct and E is not.
We know that Ronald is a sprinter,
E says that every fast runner is a sprinter but it does not say that every sprinter is fast. Ronald can be a slow sprinter without conflict with E. It can still be true that all fast runners are sprinters.
Hope this helps
