regardless of whether you got the right answer or not, this IS the way to learn the material. Tip of the hat for ya.

ps_dahiya
Accordig to Henry THoreau, the reason a majority is allowed to rule is not that is more likely to be right, but beacause it is stronger.

(A) the reason a majority is allowed to rule is not that IT is more likely to be right, but beacause it is stronger.

=======> This is clearly wrong. IT is required. Lacks ||ism

(B) a majority is allowed to rule not because it is more likely to be right , but becasue it is stronger.

=======> Maintains ||ism. CORRECT

(C) the reason for majority rule is not becasue they are more likely to be right, they are stronger.

=======> Majority is singular.

(D) the majority is allowed to rule because of its strenght, not because it is more likely to be right

=======> Lacks ||ism

(E) the reason why the majority rules is that it is strong, not because it is likely to be right

=======> Lacks ||ism
