Although physicians are alleged to hide their colleagues’ medical incompetence, today that practice could be professional suicide. Because so many medical advances are well-known by all doctors, obscuring someone’s incompetent procedure is almost impossible when a claimant choose to pursue a case. Thus, in malpractice suits, physicians risk their own reputations if they testify falsely to protect their friends.
Which one of the following is an assumption supporting the conclusion in the passage?
(A) Physicians’ professional success depends upon their good reputations.
(B) Incompetent physicians should be exposed before they commit malpractice.
(C) False testimony is morally wrong regardless of one’s profession.
(D) Physicians should do everything possible to protect themselves from malpractice claims.
(E) Times have changed and physicians today must keep up on all medical advances.

(E) Times have changed and physicians today must keep up on all medical advances.
Physicians hide incompetencies of their fellow colleagues. Because of advances in medical field, incompetent guy may not be able to perform and thus hiding his incompetency would be next to impossible.
In malpractice lawsuits, if a physician gives a false testimony, he risks his reputation. Therefore, today the practice of hiding fellow's incompetency is professional suicide.
Gap is the reputation and "professional suicide" if a physician gives false testimony.
Answer - A - The only option that links reputation with professional success.
All other options (B-E) are claims (indicators such as must, should, morally wrong) which don't link reputation with success
We are looking for a premise - an assumption which is a must for the conclusion to hold.

Conclusion: TESTIFY FALSLY --> PROFESSIONAL SUICIDE
Premise: TESTIFY FALSLY --> RISK REPUTATIONS
Here we see a logical gap between the premise and the conclusion. We need something that connect REPUTATIONS and PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS.
(A) Physicians’ professional success DEPENDS ON their good reputations.
(A) is exactly what we need to connect reputations and professional success. If we negate (A), it becomes as follows: "Physicians’ professional success DOES NOT depend on their good reputations." This breaks the causal connection between reputations and professional success: Physicians who risk their reputations as a result of testifying falsely to protect their colleagues will NOT risk their professional success simply because their professional success DOES NOT depend on their reputations.
(A) is the required assumption and is therefore correct. (B), (C), (D), and (E) are all irrelevant.
