The government has proposed a plan requiring young people to perform services to correct various current social ills, especially those in education and housing.

Which one of the following is an assumption on which the government depends?
(A) Government-required service by young people cannot correct all social ills.
(B) The nation’s existence is directly threatened only in times of foreign attack.
(C) Crises in education and housing constitute a threat to the nation’s existence.
(D) The nation’s young people believe that current social ills pose no direct threat to the nation’s existence.
(E) Some of the social ills that currently afflict the nation do not pose a direct threat to the nation’s existence.
OA is E.
