In order for a new third-world democratic country to achieve and maintain political stability, its government must afford its citizens the power to elect and remove the country’s leaders. After all, Country X is among the most stable countries in the world, and its government affords its citizens this power.
The argument above is flawed in that it ignores the possibility that
(A) many third-world countries already grant their citizens the power to elect and remove their leaders.
(B) a large percentage of thirdworld countries have already achieved, and are maintaining, political stability.
(C) Country X’s leaders are more popular among Country X’s citizens than are the leaders of most third-world countries among their citizens.
(D) specific procedures for electing a country’s leaders vary significantly from one country to another.
(E) Country X was already politically stable when its citizens were first afforded the power to elect and remove their leaders.

to achieve and maintain political stability----> give citizens the power to elect and remove the country’s leaders.
After all, Country X is among the most stable countries in the world, and its government affords its citizens this power.
Key idea: This argument could certainly be weakened if we are able show that there is some other reason (other than provision of power to elect) why country X is among the most stable countries in the world.

(E) Country X was already politically stable when its citizens were first afforded the power to elect and remove their leaders. - this is exactly what we are looking for (mentioned in the ''key idea''). Hence, (E) is the right answer choice.
