On which of the following assumptions does the manager's argument depend?
A) An applicant will be a good candidate for the position if he has a bachelor's degree --> irrelevant: not talking about good or bad candidate
B) A candidate's intelligence is of more importance than his interpersonal skills. -->irrelevant: intelligence and interpersonal skills aren't compared here
C) Any candidate without a bachelor's degree lacks the necessary intelligence for the position. --> correct assumption
D) The only function of a bachelor's degree is to test one's intelligence as it relates to potential employers. --> irrelevant: the function of a bachelor's degree isn't discussed here
E) The intelligence of applicants is the primary factor in making hiring decisions at this firm. --> irrelevant: talking about the relation between the bachelor degree & necessary intelligence

"pre-requisite" and "lack" infer that non-bachelors are bad candidates, but don't infer that bachelors are good --> irrelevant assumption
B) A candidate's intelligence is of more importance than his interpersonal skills.
There is no mention for any comparison between intelligence and other recruitment factors at all --> out of scope
C) Any candidate without a bachelor's degree lacks the necessary intelligence for the position.
The author excludes non-bachelors from the interview, so he must have assumed that all of them lack required intelligence --> correct
D) The only function of a bachelor's degree is to test one's intelligence as it relates to potential employers.
the very sharp word "Only" makes choice D easily rejected ---> rejected language strength
E) The intelligence of applicants is the primary factor in making hiring decisions at this firm.[/quote]
Hiring is not mentioned. Interviewing is not hiring. --> irrelevant assumption
