In discussing the pros and cons of monetary union among several European nations, some politicians have claimed that living standards in the countries concerned would first have to converge if monetary union is not to lead to economic chaos. This claim is plainly false, as is demonstrated by the fact that living standards diverge widely between regions within countries that nevertheless have stable economies.
In attempting to refute the politicians’ claim, the author does which one of the following?
(A) argues that those making the claim are mistaken about a temporal relationship that has been observed
(B) presents an earlier instance of the action being considered in which the predicted consequences did not occur
(C) argues that the feared consequence would occur regardless of what course of action was followed
(D) gives an example of a state of affairs, assumed to be relevantly similar, in which the allegedly incompatible elements coexist
(E) points out that if an implicit recommendation is followed, the claim can be neither shown to be true nor shown to be false

Okay, so the argument is saying that some politicians have raised their concern regarding monetary union. These politicians are saying that not all countries share same standard of living, so the proposed union will fail, author is saying that it may not be the case. Author gives example of differences in standard of living in a country with stable economy.
In attempting to refute the politicians’ claim, the author does which one of the following?
(A) argues that those making the claim are mistaken about a temporal relationship that has been observed - well Temporal relationships indicate sequence, logic and time, such as secondly, hourly or before lunchtime. Here temporal relationship is monetary union if formed might collapse if standard of living doesn’t match. This may or may not happen, besides author is not saying that. Author is giving an example of a country with different standards of living and state economy. So A is out
(B) presents an earlier instance of the action being considered in which the predicted consequences did not occur - we don’t have previous monetary union for multiple countries to contrast the proposed monetary union. So b is out
(C) argues that the feared consequence would occur regardless of what course of action was followed - nah.
(D) gives an example of a state of affairs, assumed to be relevantly similar, in which the allegedly incompatible elements coexist- relatively similar situation, yes. Author cites example of the a country that has different standards of living yet stable economy to counter the politicians. D is the answer.
(E) points out that if an implicit recommendation is followed, the claim can be neither shown to be true nor shown to be false- author leans on side of claim of politicians to be false. E is out
