OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The art of waging war has reached a high level of detail throughout the ages and is viewed today as a form of science. A new brand-promotion firm has decided to base its financial strategies on a renowned military strategist, as published in an on-line brochure sent to prospective investors.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument relies?
A. Military Strategies can be used in the world of marketing for brand promotion.
Aye Aye, Captain!
Viewed schematically, the argument runs as follows:
Premise: Military strategy is scientific.
Conclusion: A specific military strategist's strategies can be used for brand-promoting purposes.
You are requested to find an assumption that connects between the premise and the conclusion:
Premise + Assumption = Conclusion.
If military strategy is scientific (premise) and military strategies can be used, or applied, to promote products (assumption), then the firm's decision (conclusion) to base its financial strategies on a military strategist makes sense.
B. Military maxims can be used in any sphere of human existence.
Incorrect.
Viewed schematically, the argument runs as follows:
Premise: Military strategy is scientific.
Conclusion: A specific military strategist's strategies can be used for brand-promoting purposes.
You are requested to find an assumption that connects between the premise and the conclusion:
Premise + Assumption = Conclusion.
This answer choice goes way beyond what is needed to reach the conclusion by expanding the applicability of military strategies to all fields of life, while the argument focuses only on marketing.
C. Brochures are one of the best ways to further a firm's interests.
Incorrect.
This answer choice focuses on a minor, distracting detail in the argument - the brochure - and fails to connect the premise with the conclusion.
D. Military strategy and financial strategy differ in name only.
Negative, Captain.
This answer choice goes beyond what is needed to reach the conclusion that a specific military strategies can be used for brand-promoting purposes. Military strategy and financial strategy don't have to be identical for this purpose; they differ in their goals, their means, etc.
E. Military strategists are also adept at marketing.
Incorrect.
The argument relies on the implementation of military strategies in the world of brand promotion, not on the abilities of military strategists in the world of brand promotion.

My problem with "A" is that as per the premise, the brand has based "its financial strategies on a renowned military strategist"
so doesnt that mean that they will be using his expertise for financial purposes and not for brand promotion
so doesnt that mean that they will be using his expertise for financial purposes and not for brand promotion
