Mr. Janeck: I don't believe Stevenson will win the election for governor. Few voters are willing to elect a businessman with no political experience to such a responsible public office.
Ms. Siuzdak: You're wrong. The experience of running a major corporation is a valuable preparation for the task of running a state government.
M. Siuzdak's response shows that she has interpreted Mr. Janeck's remark to imply which of the following?
(A) Mr. Janeck considers Stevenson unqualified for the office of governor.
(B) No candidate without political experience has ever been elected governor of a state.
(C) Mr. Janeck believes that political leadership and business leadership are closely analogous.
(D) A career spent in the pursuit of profit can be an impediment to one's ability to run a state government fairly.
(E) Voters generally overestimate the value of political experience when selecting a candidate.
Pls note that although this question has been discussed on this forum 2 years ago, I was not satisfied with the explanations provided ( also there were no expert replies on the question)
Posting it here again as I am confused about the answer
My analysis follows :
A. Mr. Janeck does not speak about the qualification of the candidate. Lack of experience is a better choice of words, but there is difference between being unqualified or being inexperienced. reject
B.Use of extreme words 'no candidate w/o political exp has ever been governer' is an exaggeration of the stimulus. reject
C. on the contrary, he does not believe this and hence this is a wrong answer
D.Too exaggerated, nowhere supported in the stimulus
E. Generally -> corresponds to 'few voters are willing to consider ' meaning that the vast majority are not willing to consider business experience in a candidate as sufficient for politics. Correct Answer
But the OA is A
Please help me
