Must be TrueDiff: Easy
Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: You can be a successful leader by protecting rights and the economy, or just by protecting rights even if you ignore nature. This leader ignores nature but protects rights.
Reasoning: An administration is successful if it handles both the economy and liberties well; it can also be successful if it protects liberties even while failing the environment. The current administration fails the environment but protects liberties.
Analysis: This is a 'Must Be True' question, so we need to combine the provided conditions. We are told that protecting liberties is a necessary component of two different paths to success. Since the current administration protects liberties but fails the environment, they have met the criteria for the 'even if' scenario mentioned by the commentator. However, be careful: the text says they 'may' succeed overall, not that they 'must.' Look for an answer that reflects this possibility or focuses on the fact that they have satisfied the liberty-protection requirement.
