Unless the building permit is obtained by February 1 of this year or some of the other activities necessary for construction of the new library can be completed in less time than originally planned, the new library will not be completed on schedule. It is now clear that the building permit cannot be obtained by February 1, so the new library will not be completed on schedule.
The conclusion drawn follows logically from the premises if which one of the following is assumed?
(A) All of the other activities necessary for construction of the library will take at least as much time as originally planned.
(B) The officials in charge of construction of the new library have admitted that it probably will not be completed on schedule.
(C) The application for a building permit was submitted on January 2 of this year, and processing building permits always takes at least two months.
(D) The application for a building permit was rejected the first time it was submitted, and it had to be resubmitted with a revised building plan.
(E) It is not possible to convince authorities to allow construction of the library to begin before the building permit is obtained.

The argument tells us one of two things needs to be true for the library to be built on time: either they need the permit by Feb 1, or they need to finish some other activities quickly. We then learn that they won't get the permit by Feb 1, and the argument concludes that they won't build the library on time. There's a clear gap here: what if they finish those other activities quickly? The argument is assuming that won't happen, because if it did, it would still be possible to build the library on schedule. So answer A is correct.
