   Unsupported Relationship11% picked this

   Any independently owned pet store in West Calverton that does not sell tropical fish

   (E) is talking about indie stores that don't sell fish. Since they're indie stores, we know they won't sell gerbils (indie --> ~gerbil). But we don't learn anything by knowing it's a store that doesn't sell tropical fish. We don't have any rule for stores that DON'T sell tropical fish. So all we know about the stores (E) is talking about is that they don't sell gerbils. We don't know whether or not they sell exotic birds.
