Critical Reasoning

Editorial: In rejecting the plan proposed by parliament to reform the electoral process, the president clearly acted in the best interests of the nation. Anyone who thinks otherwise should remember that the president made this decision knowing it would be met with fierce opposition at home and widespread disapproval abroad. All citizens who place the nation’s well-being above narrow partisan interests will applaud this courageous action.
The reasoning in the editorial is in error because
(A) it confused a quality that is merely desirable in a political leader with a quality that is essential to effective political decision-making
(B) it fails to distinguish between evidence concerning the courage required to make a certain decision and evidence concerning the wisdom of making that decision
(C) it ignores the likelihood that many citizens have no narrow partisan interest in the proposed election reform plan
(D) it overlooks the possibility that there was strong opposition to the parliament’s plan among members of the president’s own party
(E) it depends on the unwarranted assumption that any plan proposed by a parliament will necessarily serve only narrow partisan interests

could somebody explain this?

nauman, is it C? I will explain my approach if you can confirm the OA ...

NO its not C, OA is B

for my understanding is that the president will make an decision that all people will disagree or object him no matter from domestic or international and he will despite all this, thus the editorial says the citizens will appraise for the presidents' courage.

B ponit out that the courage and the wisodom of making such decision is different.

(E) it depends on the unwarranted assumption that any plan proposed by a parliament will necessarily serve only narrow partisan interests


It assumes that the plan forwarded by the parliament will serve narrow partisan interests. So, how about E being the correct ans?

E is not the correct one its B.

i like the explanation on B
