Which piece of evidence from source 2 most conflicts with Vicki's claim that she didn't steal the prized necklace?

SOURCE 1: From the testimony of Vicki Mays: I'm not a thief! On the Sunday afternoon that the prized necklace was stolen, I was at Joe's Butcher shop. I bought eight Kobe beef steaks at 3:00, and these are the exact words I said to the butcher: "I love this stuff."

SOURCE 2: Police profile of Vicki Mays: Age 22. Height 5'5". Born in Greenview, Illinois, to Martha and Jonathan Mays, lifelong vegetarian, devoted sister of Gabriella Mays. Member of the Northwest Central University Chess Club, fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Keeps to herself and enjoys solo whitewater rafting.

Which statement best synthesizes information from both sources?

SOURCE 1: Chuck's signature dishes are sure to surprise and delight: The banana peel casserole served with crab juice, for examples, challenges the taste buds and makes a daring statement about how our culture defines what is truly "normal" in modern cuisine.

SOURCE 2: Never have I been so shocked by a menu as when I visited Chuck's. Frozen spider popsicles? Onion-flavored milkshakes? Uncooked brown rice sprinkled on lime sorbet with brown gravy poured over it? Ugh, no thank you.

• Diners who want to try something weird and different should visit Chuck's.

• Diners who want to eat good-tasting food should avoid Chuck's.

• Diners who want to eat healthy vegetarian cuisine should avoid Chuck's.
