In fact, that's the way gmatmachoman solved it, and it is also the Kaplan method (quoting from my original post in this thread):
Therefore, choice A is irrelevant to the argument. But because this is an EXCEPT question, we select it. And because a test-taker well-versed in Kaplan procedures would have characterized the choices and then applied this strategy before going to the answer choices, she could have selected choice A knowing that it was right not having to worry about evalutaing the remaining answer choices, thereby saving her some time and thereby improving her score!
