The recently negotiated North American Free Trade Agreement among Canada, Mexico, and the United States is misnamed, because it would not result in truly free trade. Adam Smith, the economist who first articulated the principles of free trade, held that any obstacle placed in the way of the free movement of goods, investment, or labor would defeat free trade. So since under the agreement workers would be restricted by national boundaries from seeking the best conditions they could find, the resulting obstruction of the flow of trade would, from a free-trade perspective, be harmful.

The argument proceeds by

(A) ruling out alternatives

(B) using a term in two different senses

(C) citing a nonrepresentative instance

(D) appealing to a relevant authority

(E) responding to a different issue from the one posed



Is Restriction on movment of labour can be regarded as non representatice instance

A or C.

A:
the arguement declares that the agreement is harmful as it is not strictly adhering with the specifications, and not giving space for any alternatives if any. But as no alternative was presented- it kind of questions this choice.

C:
I am not too sure on what is meant by 'nonrepresentative instance',
but guessing that , it meant not a regularly occuring instance, as restriction of trade related labour movement is not a common instance - (which the author is assuming for his conclusion ).

I would go with C.

A) ruling out alternatives -irrelevant

(B) using a term in two different senses - uses the same sense

(C) citing a nonrepresentative instance - all the citings are representative

(D) appealing to a relevant authority -correct

(E) responding to a different issue from the one posed - responds to the same issue.

imo:D

yep D it is. It is a low hanging fruit.. solved in under 30 secs.
This answer jumped at me as soon as I read Adam Smith blah blah.. in the stimulus. "appeal to authority", "causal vs correlation", "circular reasoning" are some standard CR ploys used by GMAT/LSAT.

HT Helps.
