According to Henry David Thoreau, the reason a majority is allowed to rule is not that it is more likely to be right, but because it is stronger.

(A) the reason a majority is allowed to rule is not that it is more likely to be right, but because it is stronger
(B) a majority is allowed to rule not because it is more likely to be right, but because it is stronger
(C) the reason for majority rule is not because they are more likely to be right, they are stronger
(D) the majority is allowed to rule because of its strength, not because it is more likely to be right
(E) the reason why the majority rules is that it is strong, not because it is likely to be right

This is a great question!

Confused between B and D.

IMO D

I think that B has the word "stronger" that is bothering me. I believe that if the word "stronger" is used, then the thing that the majority is compared to should also be mentioned in the sentence.

Thanks!

Correct Answer is B.

Option D is wrong because it is a sentence fragment.

the majority is allowed to rule because of its strength, not because it is more likely to be right

the majority is allowed to rule because of its strength is an independent clause and then it is followed by a conjunction not. Only two independent clauses can be separated by a conjunction, but in option D, because it is more likely to be right is a dependent clause.

So it is violating the grammar rules.

Only B maintains the correct usage of the idiom.. not x but y

But I was unsure as, a majority is supposed to have plural usage

(A) the reason a majority is allowed to rule is not that it is more likely to be right, but because it is stronger
(B) a majority is allowed to rule not because it is more likely to be right, but because it is stronger
(C) the reason for majority rule is not because they are more likely to be right, they are stronger
(D) the majority is allowed to rule because of its strength, not because it is more likely to be right
(E) the reason why the majority rules is that it is strong, not because it is likely to be right
A->because in the second part it wrong.
B->parallelism maintained..right use of idiom..not because..but because
C->reason...because is wrong.
D->Better than original but not as precise and concise as B.
E->same as A and C..Reason..because is wrong..

Hence should be B
