If I go to class tomorrow without having done the reading, my professor will call on me and be angry that I am not prepared. However, if I stay up all night, which is what I would have to do to catch up on the reading, he will be angry because I will be too tired to stay awake in class. The above argument is constructed to lead to which one of the following conclusions?

A. If I go to class tomorrow, my professor will be angry with me.
B. If I stay home tomorrow to catch up on the reading, my professor will be angry that I skipped class.
C. It would be better for me to skip class tomorrow than to stay up late reading
D. My professor will be angry.
E. If my professor is angry with me, it is because I fell behind on the reading.

I believe it would be D. My professor will be angry.

No matter the situation, or choice it leads to the same conclusion. There is no right option available without the teacher becoming angry.
