Question Stats:

B) The ways that Congress works when in session have changed drastically during other attempts at political reforms.

D) The campaign bill proposes that sessions of the Congress be ten days longer.

I would go for D...
We have to strengthen taxpayer XтАЩs argument in such a way that we take into conideration taxpayer YтАЩs reasoning too.
Choice D ...says that a campaign bill should be passed which will lengthen the Congress session...thus making the congress change its way when in session...or how it works(taxpayer YтАЩs argument).
Does the above reasoning make sense..?

May be C.
A - Then political reform could happen without the bill
B - This doesn't say anything about the campaign bill.
C - Political reform can start from campaign stage alson
D - This may not be political reform.
E - Doesn't talk about the changes.

Nice question. I agree with Vivek on D. Same explanation but I also want to add that C merely states the goal to be achieved without giving any substance to X's argument. D, on the other hand, incorporates Y's concern in X's argument

Id have to go with Anan on this one as well. C is close, but it has the arguement backwards. A=>B, if it had B=>A, Id go with C. But the way it is, A is my choice.
