Supplemental Material - LR Problem Set 1:

Q59: I picked answer choice E, but the correct answer is B. Could you tell me why E is incorrect and Why B is correct?

Thank you so much for your help!


Sincerely,

Hi Sherry,

In that one the author says that for democracy to survive it is vital that the average citizen be able to develop informed decisions; scientific advances make this increasingly difficult, confirming answer choice (B).

The problem with answer choice (E): it suggests that if there are some capable citizens, Democracy will survive. The author of the stimulus offers no such guarantees.

I hope that's helpful! Please let me know whether this is clear--thanks!
