Critical Reasoning

I chose E but the OA is D...why?

Advertisement: Clark brand-name parts are made for cars manufactured in this country. They satisfy all of our government automotive test—the toughest such tests in the world. With foreign-made parts, you never know which might be reliable and which are cheap look-alikes that are poorly constructed and liable to cost you hundreds of dollars in repairs. Therefore, be smart and insist on brand-name parts by Clark for your car.
The argument requires the assumption that
(A) Clark parts are available only in this country
(B) foreign-made parts are not suitable for cars manufactured in this country
(C) no foreign-made parts satisfy our government standards
(D) parts that satisfy our government standards are not as poorly constructed as cheap foreign-made parts
(E) if parts are made for cars manufactured in our country, they are not poorly constructed





And plz explain this question
OA is D

Even if a crime that has been committed by computer is discovered and reported, the odds of being both arrested and convicted greatly favor the criminal.
Each of the following, if true, supports the claim above EXCEPT:
(A) The preparation of computer-fraud cases takes much more time than is required for average fraud cases, and the productivity of prosecutors is evaluated by the number of good cases made.
(B) In most police departments, officers are rotated through different assignments every two or three years, a shorter time than it takes to become proficient as a computer-crime investigator.
(C) The priorities of local police departments, under whose jurisdiction most computer crime falls, are weighted toward visible street crime that communities perceive as threatening. serve time
(D) Computer criminals have rarely been sentenced to in prison, because prisons are overcrowded with violent criminals and drug offenders.
(E) The many police officers who are untrained in computers often inadvertently destroy the physical evidence of computer crime.

I'm not sure about the first one but here's the explanation for 2nd:

The claim says that the chances of a computer criminal being arrested and convicted are very less even though the crime is discovered and reported.

(A), (B), (C) and (E) support the claim by saying that officers are unable to prepare a strong cases against the criminal either due to lack of experience (B), evidence(E), time (A) or they have different priorities (C).

(D) talks about criminals being sentenced to prison. What this means is that the criminal has already been "arrested and convicted" which is against the claim.

Being convicted does not mean being sent to prison. There could be other punishments.

1 question per thread please!

To address the 2nd one:

we have a strengthening except question - so 4 choices will help explain why computer criminals aren't caught as much, 1 will either hurt the argument or be irrelevant.

choice (d) talks about sentencing, not conviction, so it's completely outside the scope and therefore the correct choice.

Thx guys.....Sorry Staurt...will post 1 Q per thread.

Well I feel D is the answer. I guess I'm right. If some expert could throw light on the reasoning it would be a big help.
