As an experienced labor organizer and the former head of one of the nation’s most powerful labor unions, Grayson is an excellent choice to chair the new council on business-labor relations.
Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the conclusion above?
(A) The new council must have the support of the nation’s labor leaders if it is to succeed.
(B) During his years as a labor leader, Grayson established a record of good relations with business leaders.
(C) The chair of the new council must be a person who can communicate directly with the leaders of the nation’s largest labor unions.
(D) Most of the other members of the new council will be representatives of business management interests.
(E) An understanding of the needs and problems of labor is the only qualification necessary for the job of chairing the new council.

(E) most strengthens the argument

Most of the other options are either out of scope

If I recall correctly, the OA is E, which makes sense considering that the rest of the answer options are mostly out of scope. B could be a strong candidate, but it's too far of a stretch for us to assume that b/c he had good relations with biz leaders, he was thusly a successful labor leader and thus must be an excellent choice to chair the council. E is the answer that best addresses Grayson's qualifications as stated in the Q stem.
