Confused with CR answer choices

Expert replies
by AdvenofTintin » Thu May 02, 2013 8:42 am
When a district attorney (DA) leaves office in the middle of the term for whatever reason, the political party to which the outgoing DA belonged when he or she took office is allowed to choose a replacement. Since our DA will leave in the middle of her term to become the state’s attorney general, her replacement will be a member of the Federal Party.

Which of the following most strengthens the argument above?

The outgoing DA has not changed her party affiliation during her time in office.
The DA now leaving in the middle of her term was a member of the Federal Party when she took office.
The party to which the outgoing DA belongs always chooses a member of the Federal Party when replacing officials.
When the state’s attorney general leaves in the middle of the term, the replacement is decided by the state senate.
The Federal Party plans to choose to replace the outgoing district attorney with a close associate of the former DA.

I chose B but the answer here is C-Please help me understand this better--source Veritas Prep test

Concl: Current DA's replacement will be a member from Federal Party

What will strengthen this?
A, D and E can be easily eliminated.
B states THE leaving DA was a member of Federal Party when s/he took office and therefore, Federal PArty will be ALLOWED to chose the replacement. They may chose a federal candidate (in which case it will strengthen) but they might also chose a candidate from Democrat party in which case the argument is weakened. WE are making a big assumption that Fed Party will always select a replacement from within its ranks. Although practically that's almost always true, just that we cant use it for CR passages :(
C: Leaves no iota of doubt that the replacemnt candidate will be a Fed party cadidate.STRENGTHENS

Hope this helps.

Please use the spoiler function when posting the answer. That allows other members to take a stab at the question without seeing the answer. It's the right-most button above the message box.

Choice C takes the DA's party affiliation out of the equation and makes it clear that the party always selects members of the Federal party to replace an outgoing elected official.

We had a long discussion on this one previously.

In fact, it was as a result of that discussion that this question was actually edited!

The correct answer was edited and now it is a better question.

Here is the original thread for this question. See, it does do good to bring these questions to our attention...you might be helping to make a better question.
