5. A weapons-smuggling incident recently took place in country Y. We all know that Y is a closed society. So Y’s government must have known about the weapons.
Which of the following is an assumption that would make the conclusion above logically correct?
(A) If a government knows about a particular weapons-smuggling incident, it must have intended to use the weapons for its own purposes.
(B) If a government claims that it knew nothing about a particular weapons-smuggling incident, it must have known everything about it.
(C) If a government does not permit weapons to enter a country, it is a closed society.
(D) If a country is a closed society, its government has a large contingent of armed guards patrolling its borders.
(E) If a country is a closed society, its government has knowledge about everything that occurs in the country.

i think d can be the asnwer but the answer is e?

conclusion: govt knew about weapon smuggling in Y, a closed society

A. out of scope. what govt would want to do if it knows is irrelevant

B. out of scope. no information about claims made by the govt.

C. just defines a closed society. doesnt affect the conclusion that the govt. must have known about the smuggling

D. out of scope. possession of armed guards by a closed society doesnt affect the conclusion that the govt knew about the smuggling.

E. correct. negate: in a closed society, the govt does not have knowledge about everything ocurring in the country-possibility that govt. didnt know about the smuggling-argument falls apart.
this is therefore necessary for the argument.
