All of the desserts purchased last Friday for the Avery party were purchased from Kelsey’s Bakery. None of the desserts made at Kelsey’s Bakery contain nuts. This limitation therefore places some restrictions on the types of desserts made at Kelsey’s Bakery. For example, no traditional baklavas are made without nuts, and most traditional baklavas are made with walnuts. Last week, Kelsey’s Bakery made spice cakes, but none of the desserts purchased last Friday were spice cakes.

If the above statements are true, each of the following must also be true EXCEPT

  • (A) If Kelsey’s Bakery makes baklava, then that baklava is not traditional baklava.
  • (B) The Avery party did not purchase spice cakes from Kelsey’s Bakery last Friday.
  • (C) None of the desserts purchased for the Avery party contain nuts.
  • (D) Some spice cakes do not contain nuts. (E) Kelsey’s Bakery does not make carrot cakes unless those carrot cakes are nut-free.
