Professor: in one method of international conflict resolution, a nation that perceives itself to have been wronged by another nation should demand that conditions be met by the wrongdoing nation before negotiations between both parties can begin. If all countries behaved according to this method, countries in conflict would never succeed in beginning negotiations.
The professor's argument relies on which of the following assumptions?
A. No country truly acts in accordance with this method of international conflict resolution.
B. In conflict resolution, no country should announce conditions for negotiations.
C. International conflicts should be settled by an objective international third party.
D. No country in conflict with another country will meet any of that country's demands in advance of beginning negotiations.
E. Countries place conditions on negotiation so that those negotiations might ultimately be successful.

Professor: in one method of international conflict resolution, a nation that perceives itself to have been wronged by another nation should demand that conditions be met by the wrongdoing nation before negotiations between both parties can begin. If all countries behaved according to this method, countries in conflict would never succeed in beginning negotiations.
The professor's argument relies on which of the following assumptions?
The professor states that "demand that conditions be met by the wrongdoing nation before negotiations between both parties can begin"
If this were true then countries should have agreed to all conditions before negotiations however prof assumes that "countries in conflict would never succeed in beginning negotiations" . hence he assumes ha countries in discussion never agree on other country's demand before beginning negotiation.
A. No country truly acts in accordance with this method of international conflict resolution.This actualy weakens is argument
B. In conflict resolution, no country should announce conditions for negotiations.No impact
C. International conflicts should be settled by an objective international third party.Out of scope. Prof doesnt say so
D. No country in conflict with another country will meet any of that country's demands in advance of beginning negotiations.Thsi fills in the correct gap
E. Countries place conditions on negotiation so that those negotiations might ultimately be successful.It doest have an impact on begining negotiations

Oh an easy one!
Professor: in one method of international conflict resolution, a nation that perceives itself to have been wronged by another nation should demand that conditions be met by the wrongdoing nation before negotiations between both parties can begin. If all countries behaved according to this method, countries in conflict would never succeed in beginning negotiations.
The professor's argument relies on which of the following assumptions?
Before attempting assumption questions, it is important to jot down the para in points. This method makes it very easy to answer.
Premise: one C X by another C, wrong C must meet conditions first (C=countries)
Assumption: ?
Conclusion: This methodology would never help C succeeding in beginning negotiations.
assumption could be that no country would ever agree with another country's allegations or conditions which will be followed by fights, arguments etc and because of all these, countries could never succeed in advance of beginning negotiations.
A. No country truly acts in accordance with this method of international conflict resolution.
INCORRECT. Pretty much a good candidate for a contender. But then this assumption has no relation with beginning negotiations. Still feeling doubt then do negate this sentence. If all countries act in this method of international conflict, then the problem continues. The misunderstanding would exists and argument is unaffected.
B. In conflict resolution, no country should announce conditions for negotiations.
INCORRECT. Even if you negate, it argument is unaffected.
C. International conflicts should be settled by an objective international third party.
INCORRECT. Out of scope.
D. No country in conflict with another country will meet any of that country's demands in advance of beginning negotiations.
CORRECT. matches with our assumption(mentioned above along with reason) and the sentence does have a relation with advance of beginning negotiations (with the conclusion). Negation: If countries in conflict with another country meet any of that country's demands in advance of beginning negotiations, then no problem would ever exists and every negotiation will move on smoothly. Destroys argument.
E. Countries place conditions on negotiation so that those negotiations might ultimately be successful.
INCORRECT. Same as option A and B
