The view that every person is concerned exclusively with her or his own self-interest implies that government by consent is impossible. Thus, social theorists who believe that people are concerned only with their self‐interest evidently believe that aspiring to democracy is futile, since democracy is not possible in the absence of government by consent.
The reasoning in the argument is flawed in that the argument
(A) infers merely from the fact of someone’s holding a belief that he or she believes an implication of that belief
(B) infers that because something is true of a group of people, it is true of each individual member of the group
(C) infers that because something is true of each individual person belonging to a group, it is true of the group as a whole
(D) attempts to discredit a theory by discrediting those who espouse that theory
(E) fails to consider that, even if an argument’s conclusion is false, some of the assumptions used to justify that conclusion may nonetheless be true

The reasoning in the argument is flawed in that the argument
(A) infers merely from the fact of someone’s holding a belief that he or she believes an implication of that belief ...(exactly what we need , this explains the flaw that someones's belief = implication of that belief )
(B) infers that because something is true of a group of people, it is true of each individual member of the group ( nothing mentioned abt groups )
(C) infers that because something is true of each individual person belonging to a group, it is true of the group as a whole ( same as B )
(D) attempts to discredit a theory by discrediting those who espouse that theory ( not explaining the flaw )
(E) fails to consider that, even if an argument’s conclusion is false, some of the assumptions used to justify that conclusion may nonetheless be true ( out of scope )
