Aristotle CR.

Economic considerations colour every aspect of international dealings, and nations are just like individuals in that the lender sets the terms of its dealings with the borrower. That is why a nation that owes money to another nation cannot be world leader.
The reasoning in the passage assumes which one of the following?
(A) A nation that does not lend to any other nation cannot be a world leader.
(B) A nation that can set the terms of its dealings with other nations is certain
to be a world leader.
(C) A nation that has the terms of its dealings with another action set by that
nation cannot be a world leader.
(D) A nation that is a world leader can borrow from another nation as long as that
other nation does not set the terms of the dealings between the two nations.
(E) A nation that has no dealings with any other nation cannot be world leader.

Prediction: A nation in debt cannot be a world leader.
Prediction: A nation that does not set the terms of an agreement with another nation cannot be a world leader.

A - Does not line up with predictions. The argument is in terms of the nation receiving the loan, not the lender. Out of scope.
B - Does not line up with predictions. The argument is in terms of the nation receiving the loan, not the lender. Key word 'certain' is too extreme.
C - Matches prediction 2. This is the correct answer.
D - Does not line up with predictions. Does not jive with author's conclusion. A nation in debt cannot be a world leader.
E - Does not line up with predictions. Out of scope.
