Political scientist: Democracy depends on free choices, and choices cannot be free unless they are made on the basis of well-reasoned opinions. In the Information Age, reading skills have become essential to forming well-reasoned opinions. Thus, in the Information Age, a highly literate society will be a democratic one.
The political scientist's reasoning is flawed in that it
(A) mistakes necessary conditions for sufficient conditions
(B) fails to take into account that there are many means of forming well-reasoned opinions
(C) confuses the means of doing something with the reasons for doing it
(D) generalizes too hastily from one type of case to another
(E) takes for granted that a condition under which something occurs is a condition under which all its prerequisites occur

Relevant premise: Reading skills have become essential to forming well-reasoned opinions. - This implies that reading skills are necessary to forming well-reasoned opinions, but certain conditions may also need to be met.
Conclusion: Highly literate society will be a democratic one. - This implied that if the society has good reading skills they can form well-reasoned opinions, taking the condition of reading skills as sufficient. This is a flaw.
