Option A:- correct
We can positively conclude that, studying French can increase the chances of acquiring a position in the state house to a greater extent. This is in accordance with the question statement.

Option B:- Incorrect
If studying French would improve the chances of acquiring a position in the state house, it means he has an equal opportunity with those without the knowledge. Hence, has no need studying french.

Option C:- Incorrect
According to the problem statement; specified knowledge of foreign languages is not a pre-requisite for acquiring a position in the state Department. It will only increase the possibility. Hence, it is not correct.

Option D:- Incorrect
It was not stated anywhere in the question, it is not inconclusive that this option is inconsistent with the scope of the question.

Option E :- Incorrect
There is no part of the question that pointed to his friend. The only identified factor that led to his decision is that, he is seeking a better chance that will guarantee him a position in the state house.
