The case of the French Revolution is typically regarded as the best evidence for the claim that societies can reap more benefit than harm from a revolution. But even the French Revolution serves this role poorly, since France at the time of the Revolution had a unique advantage. Despite the Revolution, the same civil servants and functionaries remained in office, carrying on the day-to-day work of government, and thus many of the disruptions that revolutions normally bring were avoided.
Which one of the following most accurately characterizes the argumentative strategy used in the passage?
(A) demonstrating that the claim argued against is internally inconsistent
(B) supporting a particular position on the basis of general principles
(C) opposing a claim by undermining evidence offered in support of that claim
(D) justifying a view through the use of a series of persuasive examples
(E) comparing two positions in order to illustrate their relative strengths and weaknesses

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
(A) No. The author argues that the claim that revolutions' can benefit societies is simply incorrect, at no point does he imply that it is self-contradictory.
(B) No. Other than the claim itself, there are no general principles stated in the passage.
(C) Yes. The author attacks the claim that societies in general can reap more benefit than harm from a revolution by showing that the positive effects of the French Revolution were unique and thus cannot generally be expected to occur with other revolutions.
(D) No. There is only one example given, the French Revolution, not a series of examples.
(E) No. The author is not objectively comparing two positions: he is presenting his position.

Pre-thinking: The main point of the argument is that societies can reap more benefit than harm from revolutions. The author however disagrees with this claim and the use of the French revolution as an example of this claim because: 1) France had a unique advantage. 2) The same civil servants and workforce remained in office even after revolution, eroding any gains that could have achieved by the revolution.
The best choice that exemplifies this is choice C.

Hi,
Can you explain in detail the C. The evidence are used to undermine the main conclusion. They are not used to support main conclusion.
