Members of the VideoKing Frequent Viewers club can now receive a special discount coupon. Members of the club who have rented more than ten videos in the past month can receive the discount coupon only at the VideoKing location from which the member last rented a movie. Members of the Frequent Viewers club who have not rented more than ten videos in the past month can receive the coupon only at the Main Street location. Pat, who has not rented more than ten videos in the past month, can receive the special discount coupon at the Walnut Lane location of VideoKing.

Summary
Members of the club who have rented more than 10 videos in the past month can get the discount coupon ONLY at the location that they last rented a movie.
Members of the club who have not rented more than 10 videos in the past month can get the discount coupon ONLY at the Main Street location.
Pat has not rented more than 10 videos in the past month.
Pat can get the discount coupon at the Walnut Lane location.

Notable Valid Inferences
The stimulus is set up for us to draw the following inference: Pat is not a member of the club. This must be true because if Pat were a member of the club, then she’d be limited to getting the coupon only at the Main Street location, since she hasn’t rented more than 10 videos in the past month. But she can get it somewhere besides the Main Street location.

A
The only people who can receive the special discount coupon at the Main Street location are Frequent Viewers club members who have not rented more than ten videos.
Could be false. We know members who haven’t rented more than 10 videos can get the coupon at the Main Street location. But there could be other kinds of people who can also get the coupon there. Perhaps someone who rented more than 10 videos last rented there.
B
Some members of the Frequent Viewers club have not rented more than ten videos.
Could be false. We don’t know whether any members haven’t rented more than 10 videos. We get a rule about members who haven’t rented 10 in the last month, but that doesn’t imply there exist members who havent rented 10.
C
Some members of the Frequent Viewers club can receive the special discount coupon at more than one location of VideoKing.
Must be false. The rules about where members can get the coupon either imply that the member can get the coupon only at Main Street or only at the location they last rented. That means any individual member could only get the coupon at one location.
D
Some people who are not members of the Frequent Viewers club can receive the special discount coupon.
Must be true. As described earlier, Pat must not be a member of the club. So, at least some non-members can get the coupon.
E
If Pat rents a movie from the Main Street location, then she will not receive the special discount coupon.
Could be false. We know Pat can get the coupon at Walnut Street. We don’t know that she can’t get it at another location, too. We don’t know anythin about where non-members can get the coupon.
