Country A recently broke off diplomatic relations with Country B when it was reported that Country B had been running a covert intelligence operation within the borders of Country A. While a spokesperson for Country B admitted the charge, the spokesperson said that it was common knowledge that all countries do this, and that Country A was no exception.
Which of the following inferences can be drawn from the argument above?
(A) Country B should apologize and dismantle its intelligence operation in Country A.
(B) The spokesperson for Country B claims that Country A engages in intelligence gathering too.
(C) Because all countries engage in this practice, Country A’s outrage was disingenuous.
(D) Relations between Country A and Country B will be strained for some time.
(E) Country B would be just as outraged if it was reported that Country A was running a covert intelligence operation with Country B’s borders.

Which of the following inferences can be drawn from the argument above?
(A) Country B should apologize and dismantle its intelligence operation in Country A.
Incorrect: This is a suggestion or opinion, not an inference directly supported by the passage
(B) The spokesperson for Country B claims that Country A engages in intelligence gathering too. Incorrect: Passage doesnt say that B is claiming that A is also doing so. It says, every other country does is a common knowledge, It can be that A is not doing it AT THIS POINT of time but can do LATER. So B is not claiming.
(C) Because all countries engage in this practice, Country A’s outrage was disingenuous.
Correct: The Surprise of A is Disingenous or fakes, because it is stated in passage that the common knowledge says all countries does covert intelligence. There is nothing to be shocked when you heard B doing it. This is a MUST be true choice.
(D) Relations between Country A and Country B will be strained for some time.
Incorrect:This is a reasonable prediction, but it's speculative. The passage doesn't state or imply how long relations will remain strained.
(E) Country B would be just as outraged if it was reported that Country A was running a covert intelligence operation with Country B’s borders.
Incorrect: we have no information about how Country B would react if the roles were reversed.

Hi findingmyself , your explanation does make sense but i would still like to clarify one thing. It was said that Country A was no exception. Does it not mean that even A is pursuing such operations ?
