Most people who run for an elected office do so because they want to be of service to the public. If, however, an official publishes a book revealing information that had not previously been made public and profits from the publication, that person’s political career has inarguably come to an end because he or she will never again be trusted by other members of the government.
The conclusion that a public official who publishes a book has ended his or her political career rests on which of the following assumptions?
A) Most government officials seek office in order to serve the public.
B) Public officials must often keep information secret.
C) Trust is essential for a successful career as a public official.
D) Members of the government frequently do not trust authors of books.
E) Public officials will seek to profit from their access to privileged information if given the opportunity
