Group of answer choices
O The conclusion does not exclude the possibility that Gerald would go to Urgent Care if his temperature was only 102.5.

O The first premise doe not not exclude the possibility that Gerald would go to the Urgent Care for some other reason besides a temperature of 103+. So the premises could be true and the conclusion false at the same time.
O The conclusion, "His temperature must have been 103 or higher," does not rule out the possibility that he was not really sick, but just trying to get out of work.
O The second premise does not exclude the possibility that Gerald will not go the Urgent Care even if his temperature exceeds 103.
