Ruth: To become a politician, a person should be required to have a diversity of experience. The more diverse one’s experience, the more one will understand the need for compromise.
Stephanie: To be worthy of public trust, it is not enough, as you suggest that one simply have varied experience. Such a person would not necessarily be worthy of public trust.
Which one of the following most accurately describes a flaw in the reasoning in Stephanie’s response to Ruth’s statements?
A) The response simply asserts a point of view opposite to Ruth’s without giving reasons for it
B) The response fails to provide evidence for its assumption that experience is not beneficial to the practice of politics
C) The response attributes to Ruth a view that is more vulnerable to criticism than any she actually expresses
D) The response fails to make a needed distinction between personal experience and relevant professional experience
E) The response fails to provide evidence for its assumption that flexibility is unimportant in the practice of politics

A beautiful question which requires you to get the essence of what both say to get to your answer.
Ruth says A is required
Stephanie says A is not enough, as Ruth suggests
Flaw in Stephanie's reasoning is that she has not understood what Ruth implies.
So all choices that tell us that Stephanie is opposite of Ruth are wrong.
Because both say in a way that A is required.
Only C stands as rest all are talking of opposing views

Ruth: To become a politician, a person should be required to have a diversity of experience. The more diverse one’s experience, the more one will understand the need for compromise.
Stephanie: To be worthy of public trust, it is not enough, as you suggest that one simply have varied experience. Such a person would not necessarily be worthy of public trust.
Ruth- people should be required to have a diversity of experience in order to be a politician---> diversity of experience is a necessary condition
Stephanie- it is not sufficient to have varied experience
Ruth says 'diversity of experience' should be necessary, and Stephanie's response is to say that it's not sufficient. Furthermore, Ruth is talking about a requirement for being a politician, not about a requirement for meriting public trust. So Stephanie attacks a much broader, and therefore more vulnerable, argument than the one Ruth actually makes.
Which one of the following most accurately describes a flaw in the reasoning in Stephanie’s response to Ruth’s statements?
A) The response simply asserts a point of view opposite to Ruth’s without giving reasons for it - incorrect; Stephanie doesn't actually assert a view opposite to Ruth's; she asserts a view opposite to what she mistakenly thinks Ruth is saying.
B) The response fails to provide evidence for its assumption that experience is not beneficial to the practice of politics- incorrect; Stephanie never says so.
C) The response attributes to Ruth a view that is more vulnerable to criticism than any she actually expresses -Correct
D) The response fails to make a needed distinction between personal experience and relevant professional experience- Out of scope
E) The response fails to provide evidence for its assumption that flexibility is unimportant in the practice of politics- irrelevant- flexibility
