State Governor: In order to avoid having taxpayers pay for the lifestyles of people who could be working but choose instead to use illicit drugs that render them dysfunctional and unemployable, I propose that we regularly test for illicit drug use everyone receiving welfare benefits and that any such recipient testing positive for illicit drug use not be eligible to receive welfare benefits for two years following the test. By following this strategy we can save taxpayer dollars.
Which of the following must the governor be assuming in coming to the above conclusion?
A. The savings achieved by making drug users ineligible to receive welfare benefits will be greater than the expense of testing all welfare benefit recipients for drug use.
B. People who use illicit drugs and who know that they are going to be tested for drug use can take measures that result in their testing negative for drug use.
C. Everyone who engages in the use of illicit drugs becomes dysfunctional and unemployable.
D. Most people who become ineligible for welfare benefits because of their testing positive for use of illicit drugs will discontinue their drug use and find employment.
E. The percentage of people receiving welfare benefits who use illicit drugs is greater than the percentage of people not receiving such benefits who use illicit drugs.

Choice A discusses about the money saved after testings were done. It can't be an assumption as an assumption is a missing link between the premise ad the conclusion.
Choice D proves to be a missing link as it says that the one who test +ve will stop using drugs so in turn they will start working out thus the taxpayers money will be spent in right way.
You can also try by negating the choices in assumption type questions.
