Fund-raiser: A charitable organization rarely gives its donors the right to vote on its policies. The inability to directly influence how charities spend contributions makes potential donors feel less of an emotional connection to the charity. Thus, most charities could probably increase the amount of money they raise through donations by giving donors the right to vote.
Which one of the following is an assumption that the fund-raiser’s argument depends on?
(A) The most effective way for a charity to give potential donors the ability to directly influence what that charity does is by giving donors the right to vote on the charity’s policies.
(B) Most charities that have increased the amount of money they raise through donations have done so by making potential donors feel a greater emotional connection to the charity.
(C) Every charity that has given donors the right to vote on its policies has seen a marked increase in the emotional connection donors have to that charity.
(D) Most potential donors to a charity are unwilling to give that charity any money if there is no possible way for them to have any influence on that charity’s policies.
(E) The emotional connection potential donors feel to a charity can affect the amount of money that charity raises through donations.

Hi nightblade354,
I had a hard time eliminating option B please explain the difference between option E and B. Although I eliminated option B because the past data may not work for future data.
while option E is clear and fixes the gap.
also please change it to assumption tag.
I have doubts on these
Some - 1 to all
most/majority - 50% to 100%
few / many - 2 to 100 (depends on the context)

P: The inability to directly influence how charities spend contributions makes potential donors feel less of an emotional connection to the charity
C: Thus, most charities could probably increase the amount of money they raise through donations by giving donors the right to vote.
People want to the ability to determine where money goes. But charities say they can't vote on policies. Therefore, people don't give as much. Simply: More say = more emotion = more money.
Which one of the following is an assumption that the fund-raiser’s argument depends on?
(B)Most Less than half of the charities that have increased the amount of money they raise through donations have done so by making potential donors feel a greater emotional connection to the charity. -- OK, but does this destroy our argument? Nope. Just because it is less than half doesn't mean it won't work for our charity. This would be a further assumption to make, which makes this answer choice incorrect.
(E) The emotional connection potential donors feel to a charity can NOT affect the amount of money that charity raises through donations. -- Argument is destroyed. If this isn't true, then the entire second premise collapses which forces the argument to fold. This is our answer.
As a side note: Few/many = some =1. Nothing equals two unless it is specifically labeled as two.
