Explanation:

We know every student in Ms. Grey’s second - period class got a B on the French test, and Derek got an A on the test. By the principle of logical deduction (if all elements in a set have a certain property and an element does not have that property, then the element is not in the set), Derek cannot be in Ms. Grey’s second - period class because his test grade (A) is different from the grade (B) of all students in Ms. Grey’s second - period French class.

Answer:

E. Derek is not in Ms. Grey’s second period class
