nightblade354 The argument says “history of drinking” and option D presents someone who DRINKS excessively. So it’s not a one time thing it seems.

Doer01, I have amended my comment to state that the top position vs. any position, as you pointed out, is another reason to eliminate (D). There are also sufficient vs. necessary conditions being broken by (D), but this goes well beyond the GMAT and probably wouldn't help with the confusion you have expressed

it;s been a long time since avoiding all the trap answers , as i was falling into the trap answers repeatedly , now for the queestoin at matter it portarys about a person whose irreseponsible behaviour excessive drinking because of which he isn't able to hold any important positions in the military , D looks like the best best but the best option is not always the right option .....manhattan prop material i think that's where i picked it or is it priceton i don't clearly recollect only option that i had to re read twice was A which ultimately turned out to the bad guy .....

Only A and E make them count here. D is out for straight forward reason and reason that nightblade has given.
E falls apart for wrongly interpreting the reasoning presented in the argument.

Wondering that you were not drunk while typing the post. ;)

It's an easy A. Guys remember that when you are answering a principle-based question, you can't expect to have an exact word to word-based option straight from the argument.

A principle will always be "general" by definition as it covers a broader aspect than what is just given in the argument. :)
