Strenthen the conclusion

by bleacherseat » Fri Oct 10, 2008 10:49 am
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.

IMO B.

Graysom was organizer and leader of labour union. However, the conclusion is for the Job of business - labor relation. So If Grayson has good relations with business leaders then he will be a best choice for the Job

There is no much rationale behind my selection of E. :)

However After arriving at the contenders that are B and E, it seemed that E is more stronger than B. E strengthens the conclusion by closing the gap in the argument.

B seemed out of scope. Grayson's past relationship with Business leaders need not qualify him to become a chair of the new council.

picked E.

His relations with nation's leaders do not come into play here.

'experienced labor organizer and the former head of one of the nation’s most powerful labor unions' --- This is what makes him the right choice.

I would go for E as well. It seems the best and safest among the rest.
