Critical Reasoning

IMO EEA

OA Please

The answers are CEB

i mean my answers are CEB

OA are EEA

In Q3, I am not understanding why B is wrong. In other words why 3rd statement is wrong. In the passage it clearly leaps from civil service employees to inefficient government. and 3rd statement links this and it can be inferred.

Can anyone explain me the reason?

I guess you are confused with this option if i'm not wrong,

III. Most government workers are Civil Service employees.

Although it can be inferred that government tends to be inefficient due to Civil service employees, it can NEVER be inferred that most government workers are Civil Service employees. Because we are neither concerned on the proportion of government workers nor the stimuli discusses about other government workers here.

Hope you get the point!

Received a pm, asking me to post.

Hi Deepak,

First of all, this question is very far removed from the form of CR questions on the actual GMAT. Second, because the question asks us for what kinds of things the author is committed to believing in, it is really asking us what kind of assumptions the author is making. Accordingly, and despite its wording, this is better viewed as an assumption question.

In order for him to believe that the laziness of Civil Service employees is to blame for governmental inefficiency, he does not HAVE to think that MOST government workers are Civil Service employees. Who knows, maybe each Civil Service employee is responsible for a department that contains hundreds of other kind of government employees. Then, the laziness of Civil Service employees can account for governmental inefficiency even though most government employees are NOT Civil Service employees.

Thank you Papgust and TestLuv.
