this is a good one

Many Ann: Our country should above all, be strong. Strength gains the respect of
other countries and makes a country admirable.

Inez: There are many examples in history of countries that were strong but used
their strength to commit atrocities. We should judge a country by the morality of its
actions, not by its strength. If the actions are morally good, the country is
admirable.



Which one of the following is a presupposition that underlies Inez' argument?

(A) At least one country is admirable

(B) Countries cannot be both strong and moral

(C) It is possible to assign moral weight to the actions of countries

(D) The citizens of any country does is good

(E) Countries should impose their standards of morality on other countries by whatever means necessary

OA is C and I too had trouble deciding between b and c....Got "c" purely by chance...Hope for such luck on actual GMAT
