Every loaf the Marden bakery sells on a Saturday is a sourdough. Every sourdough the bakery bakes contains rye, and no bread it bakes containing rye is sold sliced, because the crumb tears on the slicing machine. The bakery opens six days a week and bakes through the night. Last Saturday, its busiest day, it sold forty loaves.

If the statements above are true, which one of the following must also be true?

AEvery loaf the bakery bakes contains rye, and so no loaf of its baking, whatever the day it is sold on, may be sold sliced.

BEvery one of the forty loaves the bakery sold last Saturday contained rye and was not sold sliced.

COn the five weekdays the bakery is open, at least some of the bread it sells is sold sliced, since the loaves it sells then need not be sourdoughs.

DEverything the bakery baked last Saturday, its busiest day of the week, was a sourdough, and so every loaf of it contained rye.

EBread containing rye keeps longer than bread made without it, the denser crumb that gives it that advantage being the same crumb that tears on the slicing machine.
