Which of the following statements is consistent with the rule: When the door is disarmed, the slide will not inflate?

• A. The slide inflates
• B. The slide will not inflate
• C. The slide will inflate only when armed
• D. The slide inflates without alarm

Answer: (B)

The rule is a conditional statement: if the door is disarmed, the slide will not inflate. So the statement that directly reflects this condition is that the slide will not inflate. It states exactly what happens under the disarmed condition.

The other options introduce outcomes that contradict or extend beyond that specific rule. Saying the slide inflates would violate the rule when disarmed. Saying it inflates only when armed adds a condition not stated in the rule and isn’t the direct consequence of being disarmed. Mentioning inflation without alarm introduces a factor (alarm) not addressed by the rule.
