Official Explanation
This argument says that two things stand in Melinda’s way—performing poorly on the LSAT and not getting a scholarship. That is, if Melinda does well on the LSAT and gets a scholarship, then she can become a lawyer.
Since Melinda is a lawyer in choice (A), she must have overcome the two obstacles—the LSAT and the scholarship. Hence (A) is valid. This eliminates (A). Next, (B) essentially expresses the same thought as (A). This eliminates (B). Next, (C) says that Melinda didn’t meet one of the two criteria, so she won’t become a lawyer. Hence (C) is valid. This eliminates (C). You should notice that the conclusion in (D) is too strong. Melinda may do well on the LSAT and get a scholarship yet decide not to become a lawyer. The answer, therefore, is (D).
