Traditionally, candidates for elected offices have concentrated their efforts on the early stages of the campaign during which, most people believed, the voters' perceptions of candidates were formed. It is now becoming clear, however, that elections can be decided in the few days preceding election day; public opinion polls taken during recent elections provide evidence of several such races. In those cases, the losing candidates would have been well advised to have forgone early spending and instead saved funds for television advertisements late in their campaigns.
The conclusion above assumes that which of the following is true?
A) No candidate for elected office can mount a successful campaign without allocating a large portion of campaign funds to television advertising.
B) The losing candidates described would have won their respective campaigns had they not spent as heavily in the early stages of those campaigns.
C) The winning candidates described accrued more funds throughout their campaigns than did the losing candidates.
D) Candidates who spend a large amount of their campaign funds on television advertising are more successful than those who spend the same amount on print advertising.
E) The losing candidates described would not have eliminated their chances of winning by spending less in the early stages of their campaigns.
The conclusion above assumes that which of the following is true?
A) No candidate for elected office can mount a successful campaign without allocating a large portion of campaign funds to television advertising.

Quote:
Incorrect. Although television advertising helps increase chances of success in election, it does not necessarily assure positive results, so allocation of large portion does not necessarily helps mount a successful campaign.
Quote:
Incorrect. This is traditional practice. The conclusion here made is of Current practice. So out of scope.
Quote:
Incorrect. No such comparison between winning and losing candidates is made.
Quote:
Incorrect. No such comparison between television and print advertising is made.
Quote:
Correct. Note the sentence "the losing candidates would have been well advised to have forgone early spending and instead saved funds for television advertisements late in their campaigns" Cause: losing candidates-> forgone early spending, Effect: Save funds for television advertisements with the hope of winning. So by spending less at early stages, they still have chances of winning. That means they are not eliminating their chances of winning.

I got to the answer choices by negating the options we have:
A) No candidate for elected office can mount a successful campaign without allocating a large portion of campaign funds to television advertising.
this is a very strong claim. Moreover, it is not supported by the argument. We have polls that show SEVERAL races when the above case was true. It means that in some cases, the above is not true. Thus, NO CANDIDATE is not correct.
B) The losing candidates described would have won their respective campaigns had they not spent as heavily in the early stages of those campaigns.
can be true, or not.
we know that the losing candidate in some cases, lost because no ads in the late stages of campaign.
but what if they did not win in the first stages of elections without $$?
C) The winning candidates described accrued more funds throughout their campaigns than did the losing candidates.
again, might, or might not be true.
we only know that in some cases, the candidates spent less in the late stages, and this had a negative result.
D) Candidates who spend a large amount of their campaign funds on television advertising are more successful than those who spend the same amount on print advertising.
tv ads vs. print ads - irrelevant.
E) The losing candidates described would not have eliminated their chances of winning by spending less in the early stages of their campaigns.
aha! negate this one:
the losing candidate would ahve eliminated the chances of winning if reduced the spending in early stages. this completely destroys the argument.
