I think this is a high-quality question and I don't agree with the explanation. Solution has to be A

Thank you. I can see how A could be considered the correct answer. Good point!
I have updated the passage to remove the time reference that tied immigration to the blockade, making A incorrect.­
I have also added 2 weeks of GMAT Club Tests to your subscription for help in getting this identified.

Hi, how is option b incorrect? Are we expected to infer in such questions that a tech feat was supposed to instil the same pride in people in East Germany and stop them from migrating to West? Doesnt that sound like a stretch for RC passages?

I agree with you, but I think you did not quite read the question accurately. It says failed to stop Except. Meaning the launch of the Sputnik failed to stop people from migrating.

Terrible question, if I read your suggest answer it reads as follows:

supply of provisions through the air to East German cities SUCCEDED AT STOPPING immigrations.

Which makes no sense. I suggest removing this question.
