I'll go for B because the two things : lies, politic and honesty are mutually exclusive.

However for me is a 700 level, is pretty tough expecially thinking under stress condition.

What is the level reported by the test ??'

Hi carcass, good to see u

I confirm ; it is a 700 question

I'll go for E since lying and misleading is a necessary evil just like spanking is

Official explanation:

Situation:
Honest people should not get into politics because they are uncomfortable misleading others.

Reasoning:
Which is most like the passage in logical structure? The argument might be rephrased in the following way: Honest people should avoid politics, because in politics one must lie. The logical structure of this argument depends on the assumption that all honest people must become dishonest in order to succeed in politics; conversely, if they want to remain honest, they should avoid the political situation altogether. The general assumption is that all people will act the same way in a given situation, rather than choosing to change the terms of their participation. The correct answer will rest on a similar assumption about the necessity of avoiding a certain situation rather than making different choices while in that situation.

A) Though this option does assume that all diabetic pastry chefs will over-consume sugar, diabetes is a health condition, not a choice on the same level as honesty.

B) The because statement in this option introduces an opinion about the relationship between two fields of study, not about decision-making in a given situation.

C) The choice in this option lies in whether or not to play against amateurs, not, as in the passage, in whether to be changed by the given situation.

D) A compulsive liar has little choice about whether to lie and so would not be free to choose not to lie.

E) This option assumes that all parents will find corporal punishment necessary and does not allow for the fact that some parents may choose to avoid spanking.

The correct answer is

But in the stimulus we have MUST often lying . So this is imply that i.e. 2 times a week or 10 times a day you are a liar but you must do, often, ciclically.

In E we have often the children will become spanking but this not imply the same of MUST. maybe there are rooms when this doesn't happen at all (i.e. the 0.1% of the times but still exists the hypothesis).

Mah.......However kudos you deserve rock

Although I have opted for E , I wanted to understand why not D.

compulsive liar => should not go for religion => as religion require honesty. So why not D

i still m confused between d and e here. kindly help.

yeah quite a war however option D tells us not to involve in an action necause something else has to be done fine however E on the other hand tells us about a trait which has to be done in aparticular way to change the attitude of the nice parents to corporal just like the honest people swaying their side to be dishonest however doesn;t talk about this radical change hope all of this make some sense
