BB Critical Reading P485 #12,#14

<h1>12</h1>

<p>A trivializes their theory by applying it too literally
where is this mentioned? why A is correct?</p>

<h1>14</h1>

<p>A offer contrary evidence (the author did in para 7)
E implying that no reasonable person could take them seriously (I know this is correct)
It seems to me that both A and E are right.
Then, why E is correct not A?</p>
