Critical Reasoning (CR) | Re: ­Zeno's Unfinished Furniture sells exactly five types of furniture-foo

­Because of the rule, "If lrene buys a footstool, she also buys a table made of the same wood.", we know that both Footstool and Table will either both be maple or neither will be. As the the Table can be maple, one can eliminate the following three answer choices as they do not include Table in their lists:

(C) footstool, hutch, sideboard
(D) footstool, hutch
(E) footstool

Another rule which can eliminate an answer choice is, "If she buys a vanity, she does not buy a footstool." As we know that she does buy a Footstool, it is impossible for her to buy a Vanity and thus choice (A) can be eliminated:

(A) footstool, hutch, sideboard, table, vanity

This leaves answer choice (B).

ANSWER B
