The city council of Town X has very little effective power. It has been primarily a deliberative body, with real decisions coming down from the mayor’s office. No city can claim to have effective leadership without a strong city council, and Town X is widely praised for its effective leadership. It follows, then, that the city council of Town X _______.
Which of the following best completes the argument?
A could not be considered effective unless it’s false that Town X has strong leadership
B actually wields the true power within Town X’s leadership branch
C supports unilaterally the decisions from the mayor’s office
D is representative of most deliberative bodies
E is able to bolster Town X’s leadership through deliberation

Passage breakdown :
The city council of Town X has very little effective power.
It mainly follows (with deliberate thought process) the decisions coming from Mayor's office .
Also, effective leadership in a city is possible if it has a strong city council. Note that having strong city council is not the ONLY condition that needs to be true but it is a must be true condition. We are not concerned with any other conditions as they are not stated in passage and so are out of scope .
Now, Town X is widely praised for its effective leadership.
We just saw that effective leadership in a city is possible if it has a strong city council. Thus this means that City X atleast have a strong city council.
We can now scan the options to look something that can utilize this deduction that City council is strong given that it is a deliberate body that follows order from mayor's office.
It follows, then, that the city council of Town X _______.
A - could not be considered effective unless it’s false that Town X has strong leadership
Incorrect . This choice suggests that being effective and having strong leadership cannot occur together. The passage states that Town X is widely praised for its effective leadership. Thus, this option negates the information given in the passage and so is incorrect.
B - actually wields the true power within Town X’s leadership branch
Incorrect . Extreme word usage.
C - supports unilaterally the decisions from the mayor’s office
Incorrect. Whether the City council supports the decisions or not are not mentioned in passage.
D - is representative of most deliberative bodies
Incorrect. Other deliberate bodies are not of concern.
E - is able to bolster Town X’s leadership through deliberation
Correct . It states that the City council actually utilize its quality of deliberation to strengthen the leadership.

The best completion of the argument is option (E). The argument states that no city can claim to have effective leadership without a strong city council. Since Town X is widely praised for its effective leadership, it implies that the city council in Town X plays a role in bolstering that leadership through its deliberative function. This option acknowledges the importance of the city council's role in contributing to the effective leadership of Town X.
