Expensive television advertising campaigns clearly help political candidates win elections, as evidenced by the fact that, in most political elections, the candidate with the most campaign money ultimately wins.

Which of the following, if true, would provide most support for the argument above?

(A) Endorsements from minor political office-holders generally have no effect on a candidate’s chances of winning an election.

(B) In most cases, candidates who currently hold the office for which they seek re-election have more available campaign money than their competitors.

(C) Expensive television advertising campaigns are waged most frequently by candidates who have more available campaign money than their competitors.

(D) When it comes to choosing among candidates, the voting public tends to disregard how a candidate is portrayed in television advertisements.

(E) Nearly any political candidate can afford to wage some type of television advertising campaign.


OFFICIAL EXPLANATION



The correct answer is (C).

Of the five choices, choice (C) is the best because it substantiates an assumption needed for the argument’s conclusion to be reasonable. Unless the winning candidate actually wages an expensive television ad campaign, it makes no sense to conclude that this type of campaign contributed to the candidate’s victory.
