Each of the following could be a complete and accurate list of the unsliced loaves that the bakery delivers EXCEPT:

A. three oatmeal loaves
B. three oatmeal loaves, one rye loaf
C. two oatmeal loaves, two rye loaves
D. two oatmeal loaves, three rye loaves
E. one oatmeal loaf, one rye loaf

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
The reference to unsliced loaves should point you to Rules 3, 4, and 5. Each choice has at least one unsliced oatmeal loaf, and theres no unsliced wheat loaf among the choices, butA.is a straightforward violation of Rule 5. With more than one unsliced loaf, A. needs to have an unsliced rye loaf as well, but it isnt there.
So A. cant be a complete and accurate list of the unsliced loaves.
