Verbal<\/h2>\n

Although there is no record of poet Edmund Spenser's parentage, we do know that as a youth Spenser attended the Merchant Tailors' School in London for a period between 1560 and 1570. Records from this time indicate that the Merchant Tailors' Guild then had only three members named Spenser: Robert Spenser, listed as a gentleman; Nicholas Spenser, elected the Guild's Warden in 1568; and John Spenser, listed as a \"journeyman cloth-maker.\" Of these, the last was likely the least affluent of the three\u2014and most likely Edmund's father, since school accounting records list Edmund as a scholar who attended the school at a reduced fee.<\/p>\n

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?<\/strong><\/p>\n

(A) Anybody in sixteenth century London who made clothing professionally would have had to be a member of the Merchant Tailors' Guild.
\n(B) The fact that Edmund Spenser attended the Merchant Tailors' School did not necessarily mean that he planned to become a tailor.
\n(C) No member of the Guild could become Guild warden in sixteenth century London unless he was a gentleman.
\n(D) Most of those whose fathers were members of the Merchant Tailors' Guild were students at the Merchant Tailors' School.
\n(E) The Merchant Tailors' School did not reduce its fees for the children of the more affluent Guild members.<\/p>\n
