For-profit Social Organizations serve far fewer citizens than either public or private non-profit ones do. At the same time, relative to non-profit Social Organizations, for-profit Social Organizations draw a disproportionate share of federal and state financial aid, such as food grants and guaranteed loans, for the people they serve. It must be, then, that for-profit Social Organizations cater to a greater proportion of financially disadvantaged citizens than do non-profit Social Organizations.
The conclusion above depends on which of the following assumptions?
A. Public non-profit Social Organizations and private non-profit Social Organizations serve a similar proportion of financially disadvantaged citizens.
B. For-profit Social Organizations do not engage in fraudulent practices to obtain unneeded federal and state financial aid in order to help the people they serve.
C. The number of citizens that get benefited from federal and state financial aid at for-profit Social Organizations is greater than the number of citizens that get benefited from federal and state financial aid at non-profit Social Organizations.
D. For-profit Social Organizations are of similar residential and educational quality as non-profit Social Organizations.
E. The majority of citizens that are served at for-profit Social Organizations do not have a past criminal record or a bad credit history.
The conclusion above depends on which of the following assumptions?
A. Public non-profit Social Organizations and private non-profit Social Organizations serve a similar proportion of financially disadvantaged citizens.
B. For-profit Social Organizations do not engage in fraudulent practices to obtain unneeded federal and state financial aid in order to help the people they serve.
C. The number of citizens that get benefited from federal and state financial aid at for-profit Social Organizations is greater than the number of citizens that get benefited from federal and state financial aid at non-profit Social Organizations.
D. For-profit Social Organizations are of similar residential and educational quality as non-profit Social Organizations.
E. The majority of citizens that are served at for-profit Social Organizations do not have a past criminal record or a bad credit history.

For-profit Social Organizations serve far fewer citizens than either public or private non-profit ones do. At the same time, relative to non-profit Social Organizations, for-profit Social Organizations draw a disproportionate share of federal and state financial aid, such as food grants and guaranteed loans, for the people they serve. It must be, then, that for-profit Social Organizations cater to a greater proportion of financially disadvantaged citizens than do non-profit Social Organizations.
The conclusion above depends on which of the following assumptions?
A. Public non-profit Social Organizations and private non-profit Social Organizations serve a similar proportion of financially disadvantaged citizens.
B. For-profit Social Organizations do not engage in fraudulent practices to obtain unneeded federal and state financial aid in order to help the people they serve.
C. The number of citizens that get benefited from federal and state financial aid at for-profit Social Organizations is greater than the number of citizens that get benefited from federal and state financial aid at non-profit Social Organizations.
D. For-profit Social Organizations are of similar residential and educational quality as non-profit Social Organizations.
E. The majority of citizens that are served at for-profit Social Organizations do not have a past criminal record or a bad credit history.
The argument concludes that for-profit Social Organizations serve a greater proportion of financially disadvantaged citizens than do non-profit Social Organizations. This conclusion is based on the fact that citizens at for-profit Social Organizations draw a disproportionate share of federal and state financial aid. The argument assumes a link between the proportion of aid received and the proportion of financially disadvantaged citizens enrolled. In so doing, it assumes that there are not other possible reasons for the disproportionate aid distribution.
A. The conclusion makes a claim about the differences between for-profit and non-profit Social Organizations. Differences among non-profit Social Organizations – such as public vs. private – are irrelevant to the argument.
B. CORRECT. One alternative reason that might explain the disproportionate aid distribution is that for-profit Social Organizations engaged in fraudulent practices to obtain unneeded financial assistance for the citizens they serve. If this were true, then much of the aid was distributed based not on the actual financial situation of the citizens but on the ability of Social Organizations to defraud federal and state governments. This answer choice asserts that this was NOT in fact the case, thereby eliminating this alternative explanation and highlighting a key assumption on which the argument rests.
C. The argument's claim is centered on proportions. The actual number of citizens receiving aid at for-profit vs. non-profit Social Organizations is irrelevant to the conclusion.
D. The relative residential or educational quality of for-profit vs. non-profit Social Organizations lies outside the scope of the argument, which is focused solely on differences in financial aid distribution.
E. The issue addressed by the argument is the amount of financial aid distributed to citizens at two types of institutions. Whether citizens have a bad credit history or a criminal record is immaterial to the claim made in the argument.

Isn't quality of aids provided a concern? Coz if the wuality of aid provided by For-profit ones are higherr that explains why they get higher federal support.
Also in explanation of (C) What does the proportion refer to if not the number of people aided
