Hi AJITSHARMA,

First, if you haven't already done so, I'd recommend reading Adam's earlier post (Post #7).

The gist of the argument is that:

1. It's important to disseminate (meaning spread the ideas) political theories to many people.
2. Academics who come up with these theories use confusing/convoluted language that is hard to understand for many people outside academia.

The assumption (unstated premise) is that academics are "less willing or less able than persons outside to write in a straightforward way" (Answer E).

Therefore, (the conclusion) people outside academia are needed to translate the confusing language into simple language that is easier for non-academics to understand. (This is the "special role" that the conclusion mentions.)

The assumption bridges the gap by ruling out the academics as the ones who can simplify the language, which is why people outside academia are needed to this.
