Standardized test scores are a necessary part of the application for college admission, because with them, colleges can see through differences in high school grading procedures and weed out those students who are not suited for a particular college or university.
The argument above logically depends on which of the following assumptions?
(A) An admissions department will be considered successful if it properly takes standardized test scores into account.
(B) Standardized test scores are a more important part of a successful admissions program than are factors, such as candidate interviews.
(C) Standardized test scores are able to accurately identify applicants who are unable to handle the coursework at a particular college or university.
(D) The only purpose of standardized test scores is to weed out the students who would not be able to handle a particular college or university's coursework.
(E) Before the advent of standardized tests, colleges and universities relied primarily on recommendations in making admissions decisions.

Standardized test scores are a necessary part of the application for college admission, because with them, colleges can see through differences in high school grading procedures and weed out those students who are not suited for a particular college or university.
conclusion: Standardized test scores are a necessary part of the application for college admission
reason/evidence: colleges can see through differences in high school grading procedures and weed out students
underlying assumption: high school grading procedures is a good enough parameter to weed out students!
(A) An admissions department will be considered successful if it properly takes standardized test scores into account.- the success of an admissions department is irrelevant. How does the success of the admissions department effect students application process??- wrong!
(B) Standardized test scores are a more important part of a successful admissions program than are factors, such as candidate interviews.-even if standardised test scores is one of the more important factors, this option doesn't tell us anything about standardised tests being an important factor in weeding out students!- wrong!
(C) Standardized test scores are able to accurately identify applicants who are unable to handle the coursework at a particular college or university.- Correct!- if students cannot cope up then there is no point in taking them in!
(D) The only purpose of standardised test scores is to weed out the students who would not be able to handle a particular college or university's coursework.- even if the tests were made to full-fill the purpose, we do not know that the tests are competent enough to full-fill their purpose!- wrong!
(E) Before the advent of standardized tests, colleges and universities relied primarily on recommendations in making admissions decisions.- what methods colleges relied on previously are out of scope!-wrong!
