20. For a local government to outlaw all strikes by its workers is a costly mistake, because all its labor disputes must then be settled by binding arbitration, without any negotiated public-sector labor settlements guiding the arbitrators. Strikes should be outlawed only for categories of public-sector workers for whose services no acceptable substitute exists.
The statements above best support which of the following conclusions?
(A) Where public-service workers are permitted to strike, contract negotiations with those workers are typically settled without a strike.
(B) Where strikes by all categories of pubic-sector workers are outlawed, no acceptable substitutes for the services provided by any of those workers are available.
(C) Binding arbitration tends to be more advantageous for public-service workers where it is the only available means of settling labor disputes with such workers.
(D) Most categories of public-sector workers have no counterparts in the private sector.
(E) A strike by workers in a local government is unlikely to be settled without help from an arbitrator.

Can someone please explain.

Thanks.
-A

B

check the last sentenc eof the argument it says...should be outlawed ONLY if categories of public sector workers whose no substitute is available..

which means there are some publc sector for which substitute is there so no outlaw..

but if public sector is outlawed then obviously no substitue is there...

so B

I think B is the answer. IMO the author does not mention anything about contract negotiations.
I have started to realize that I am the one!!!

IMO - A.
Applied POE.

B - It's a restatement of the last sentence of the passage.Hence incorrect.
C - Anywhere in the passage,the author is not talking about the advantages to the workers.Hence incorrect.
D - Again private sector falls beyond the scope of this passage.
E - Statement is contadracting the author's point of view.

Thanks!

This one is tricky.

The ans is C

A - there is nothing in the argument to suggest this
B - extreme case. Argument actually says that only some services do not have available substitute
C - argument says it is a costly mistake for the government to go the arbitration route. This means that it tends to be advantageous for the public-sector workers.
D - This is not supported by the argument and is extreme. Argument actually says that only some services do not have available substitute
E - This is an extreme case
