Solution
The correct answer is D. Paula likes coffee or there is someone among Julia’s friends, other than Paula, who does not like coffee.
Here's the step by step reasoning:
-
Julia's statement: "We all like coffee, except Paula, who does not like it." This implies that all of Julia's friends, except Paula, like coffee.
-
Caroline points out that Julia is wrong. This means that there is a mistake in Julia's statement.
-
The mistake could be either that Paula likes coffee (contrary to what Julia said) or that there is another friend, apart from Paula, who does not like coffee.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. Paula likes coffee or there is someone among Julia’s friends, other than Paula, who does not like coffee.
