Critical Reasoning

In the effort to fire a Civil Service employee, his or her manager may have to spend up to $100,000 of tax money. Since Civil Service employees know how hard it is to fire them, they tend to loaf. This explains in large part why the government is so inefficient.
It can be properly inferred on the basis of the statements above that the author believes which of the following?
I. Too much job security can have a negative influence on workers.
II. More government workers should be fired.
III. Most government workers are Civil Service employees.
(A) I only
(B) I and III only
(C) II only
(D) I, II, and III
(E) III only

Why not B?

ans should be A

I. this is almost directly stated in the premise. yes

II. this is too much of a stretch in logic, and we know that the gmac never picks extreme answers like this. no

III. Even though the last statement says "this explains in large part why the government is so inefficient," a few select civil service employees can have an negative effect on the govt (depending on their position in the government service). The inference that most government workers are civil service employees cannot be inferred. no
