CR question

by lazylark » Fri Apr 01, 2011 10:18 pm
Can someone help me with this:

1. Mr. Janeck: I don't believe Stevenson will win the election for governor. Few voters are willing to elect a businessman with no political experience to such a responsible public office.
Ms. Siuzdak: You're wrong. The experience of running a major corporation is a valuable preparation for the task of running a state government.
M. Siuzdak's response shows that she has interpreted Mr. Janeck's remark to imply which of the following?
(A) Mr. Janeck considers Stevenson unqualified for the office of governor.
(B) No candidate without political experience has ever been elected governor of a state.
(C) Mr. Janeck believes that political leadership and business leadership are closely analogous.
(D) A career spent in the pursuit of profit can be an impediment to one's ability to run a state government fairly.
(E) Voters generally overestimate the value of political experience when selecting a candidate.

(E) Voters generally overestimate the value of political experience when selecting a candidate.
Mr J : Stevenson will not win the election because he is a businessmen with no political experience.
Mr S: running a corporation is same as running a state office. So, J is wrong.

IMO A.
(A) Mr. Janeck considers Stevenson unqualified for the office of governor.J points that Stevenson does not have enough background.But Mr S thinks that both the background are similar.
(B) No candidate without political experience has ever been elected governor of a state. Extreme. Also, election about other candidates in not mentioned in the argument
(C) Mr. Janeck believes that political leadership and business leadership are closely analogous.Mr J does not point out that. He says Stevenson has one but not other.
(D) A career spent in the pursuit of profit can be an impediment to one's ability to run a state government fairly. Fairly is unexpected word here.
(E) Voters generally overestimate the value of political experience when selecting a candidate.In general what voters think has not been discussed.

IMO A
