Since publicly traded companies opt to shield some negative information about their company from the market, negative information tends to be shared progressively less and in wider communication channels of a company's organization. The public is, therefore, has less negative information about a publicly traded company than do the company's employees of the most private circles, such as the CEO.
The conclusion drawn above is based on the assumption that
A) positive information flows freely through the communication channels of a publicly traded company
B) employees of a publicly traded company never leak private information about that company to the market
C) CEOs and other members of the most private circles of a publicly traded company are willing to distort the perceived truth about the company in order to defend the company's share price
D) the public obtains negative information about a public company only from sources within that company
E) the public wants all relevant information about a publicly traded company, positive and negative

The public is, therefore, has less negative information about a publicly traded company than do the company's employees of the most private circles, such as the CEO.
The conclusion drawn above is based on the assumption that
A) positive information flows freely through the communication channels of a publicly traded company - wrong
The comparison is between the amount of negative information with the public and the amount of negative information with the company's employees of the most private circles. The comparison is not between the amount of positive and the amount of negative information with the public. Even if the positive information flows freely, the public may still still end up with less negative info as compared to company's employees of most private circles.
B) employees of a publicly traded company never leak private information about that company to the market - wrong
private information doesn't necessarily mean negative information. Even if private information is leaked, it can be positive information. The negation of this option doesn't make conclusion invalid.
C) CEOs and other members of the most private circles of a publicly traded company are willing to distort the perceived truth about the company in order to defend the company's share price - wrong
Even if the are willing, they may still not actually distort. (Willingness and actual actions may differ)
D) the public obtains negative information about a public company only from sources within that company - correct
If this options is negated, then the argument's conclusion falls. public may get negative information from other sources and hence the amount of negative information with public may not necessarily be less as compared with the company's employees of the most private circles.
E) the public wants all relevant information about a publicly traded company, positive and negative - wrong
The conclusion is not based on the assumption of public's wants. Public may still end up getting information even if they don't want all information.
