Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: You need a degree and a clean record to be on the board; Murray has the degree but a criminal record, so the author says he can't be the Executive Administrator.
Conclusion: Murray is ineligible for the position of Executive Administrator.
Reasoning: Murray has a felony conviction, and the rules state that felons cannot be appointed to the executive board.
Analysis: There is a clear 'Gap' here between being on the 'executive board' and being the 'Executive Administrator.' The premises give us rules for the board, but the conclusion is about a specific job title. To guarantee the conclusion is true, we must assume that the Executive Administrator position is a seat on the executive board. Look for an answer that explicitly connects that specific job to the board's membership requirements.
