StrengthenDiff: Hardest

Logic Breakdown

Passage Summary: A new farming law is probably going to fail because the heads of all the big political parties say they don't like it.

Conclusion: The new agriculture bill is highly likely to be defeated.

Reasoning: The leaders of every major political party have publicly declared their opposition to the bill.

Analysis: The argument assumes that the public stance of party leaders is a definitive predictor of the bill's legislative fate. In the world of politics, what a leader says and how a legislature actually votes can sometimes be two very different things. To strengthen this prediction, look for an answer that reinforces the influence of these leaders over their party members or the voting process. If party members always follow their leaders' directives, the conclusion becomes much more robust.

Which one of the following, if true, adds the most support for the prediction that the agriculture bill will fail to pass?

Correct Answer
A
A directly links the cited premise to the predicted outcome: if most bills with no support from any major party leader fail, then given this bill has no such support, it is likely to fail. This matches the needed bridge between leadership opposition and legislative failure.
