The book To Save the Earth is so persuasive that no one who reads it can fail to heed its environmentalist message. Members of the Earth Association have given away 2,000 copies in the last month. Thus the Earth Association can justly claim credit for at least 2,000 people in one month converted to the environmentalist cause.
Which one of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
(A) No other environmental organization gave away copies of To Save the Earth during the month in which the Earth Association gave away its 2,000 copies.
(B) The people to whom the Earth Association gave copies of To Save the Earth would not have been willing to pay to receive it from the Earth Association.
(C) The copies of To Save the Earth given away by members of the Earth Association were printed on recycled paper.
(D) None of those who received To Save the Earth from a member of the Earth Association were already committed to the environmentalist cause when they received this book.
(E) Every recipient of To Save the Earth will embrace the environmental program advocated by the Earth Association.

Premise - everyone will heed the message (Fact)
Conclusion - The Earth Association can justly claim credit for at least 2,000 people in one month converted to the environmentalist cause.
Possible assumption(s)
Will all 2k people embrace it?
A - not concerned about other org.
B - we cant derive a correlation saying if someone who pays for it will definitely read it
C - printed on recycled paper does not matter
D- Leave it in. Ex - if 2k were not committed and on reading the book, they get persuaded to commit to the cause, then the company's claim is valid.
E - Hits the assumption. Leave it in.
hmm..? tough choice between D and E
but wait if we observe the premise carefully, it clearly states that the book is so "persuasive" that any one who reads it would definitely heed the cause. Hence, the earlier stated assumption(Will all 2k people embrace it?) can be neglected.
Consider a negation technique for D
Some or All those who received the book were already committed to the cause, say 500. This implies the remaining 1500 were persuaded to commit to the cause after reading the book, hence the conclusion - "atleast" 2k people have converted to the envt cause fails because only 1500 did(1500<2000), fails.

Obviously it is D since if there are 100 people who are already members of the environmentalist, so at max will be 1900 people will become ones. Option D is necessary for the author to make that conclusion
