Whenever she considers voting in an election to select one candidate for a position and there is at least one issue important to her, Kay uses the following principle in choosing which course of action to take: it is acceptable for me to vote for a candidate whose opinions differ from mine on at least one issue important to me whenever I disagree with each of the other candidates on even more such issues; it is otherwise unacceptable to vote for that candidate. In the upcoming mayoral election, the three candidates are Legrand, Medina, and Norton. There is only one issue important to Kay, and only Medina shares her opinion on that issue.
According to the principle stated in the passage, in the upcoming mayoral election
(A) it is acceptable for Kay to vote for either Medina or Legrand, but it is unacceptable for her to vote for Norton
(B) the only unacceptable courses of action are for Kay to vote for Norton and for her to vote for Legrand
(C) it is unacceptable for Kay to vote for any of the candidates
(D) the only unacceptable course of action is for Kay to vote for Medina
(E) it is acceptable for Kay to vote for any of the candidates

B should be the answer.
Since only 1 issue is important to Kay and Medina is the only one who shares that issue, Medina differs with Kay on 0 issues. On the other hand, the othe 2 individuals differ with Medina on 1 issue. Therefore, it is unacceptable for Kay to vote for the other 2 candidates.

This question is from preptest 26, section 3, number 23.
The OA is B. Below is my reasoning
1) The stimulus states that it is acceptable to vote for a candidate whose opinions differ on at least on issue that is important whenever Kay disagrees with each of the other candidates on even more such issues.
2) There is only one important issue and only Medina shares her opinion.
Therefore, Legrand and Nortan does not share Kay's opinion on the important issue. This means that it is unacceptable to vote for Legrand or Nortan because they both disagree with her on 1 important issue while Medina disagrees with her on 0 important issues.
