It is important that penalties for drug dealing on school grounds remain extremely severe. If the penalties became less severe, more of our students would become addicted to drugs.

The argument assumes which of the following:

(A) Drug dealers are currently being deterred from drug dealing on school ground s due to the penalties at issue.
(B) Drug use is harmful to the academic careers of students.
(C) Drug dealing on school grounds is punished more harshly than drug dealing off school grounds.
(D) Those who deal drugs on school grounds are not students at those schools.
(E) There is a significant chance that some of those addicted to drugs will ultimately die from drug-related causes.

Option A - CORRECT.
This option is adequately the best assumption to the discussion above. Due to the severe penalties for drug dealings on school grounds, most drug dealers are currently being discourage from drug dealings in the school environs, because of the fear of consequences set down by the school authority for any student caught in such act.

Option B - INCORRECT.
Drug use is harmful to the academic careers of students, that is why the school authority has set down some sanctions for any student caught in the act. The aim of this policy is to save the lives of the student from tarnishing their careers.

Option C - INCORRECT.
The school authority only has power to punish any student caught in the act of Drug dealing on school grounds. This is the reason punishment is more harsh in school grounds than drug dealing off school grounds.

Option D - INCORRECT.
There is a possibility that some students who do drug dealings in schools are not the student of the school but, they are the friends of the student of the school which there is a certainty that they would have influenced the students of the school into drug dealings.

Option E -INCORRECT.
This option is a fact on the consequences of drug. However, There is a significant chance that some of those addicted to drugs will ultimately die from drug-related causes if they don't quit at early age.
