Virginia and her brother William disagree over when their father was born: Virginia claims it was in 1935 and William claims it was in 1933. The hospital where their father was born has no records for 1933 but has complete records for 1935—records that do not include a birth record for their father. Therefore, he must have been born in 1933.
The argument depends on which of the following assumptions?
(A) Either Virginia's claim or William's claim is correct.
(B) The records of the hospital where their father was born date back to 1933.
(C) Virginia and William know the day and the month of their father's birth.
(D) There are urgent practical reasons why Virginia and William must know the date of their father's birth.
(E) None of their other relatives knows the year in which Virginia and William's father was born.

(A) Either Virginia's claim or William's claim is correct.
Yes, because if this is not true then the conclusion breaks as the conclusion is standing on the pillar that either of the two is correct.
(B) The records of the hospital where their father was born date back to 1933.
In the argument, it is clearly stated that the hospital doesn't have records dating back to 1933. How can this be an assumption.
(C) Virginia and William know the day and the month of their father's birth.
The dispute is over the year, not the date and month, or nothing as such has been mentioned. Irrelevant.
(D) There are urgent practical reasons why Virginia and William must know the date of their father's birth.
How does it help in making or breaking the conclusion. Irrelevant.
(E) None of their other relatives knows the year in which Virginia and William's father was born.
Again the dispute is between who of the two is right. Irrelevant also if i negate this statement again it doesn't break my conclusion.

Therefore, he must have been born in 1933.
The argument depends on which of the following assumptions?
Solution: Just while reading the conclusion of the argument itself, one can't help but notice why only those two years. Are the kids really sure about the year and it's either 1933 or 1935 or are they just guessing but the correct year is something else?
(A) Either Virginia's claim or William's claim is correct.: Exactly what we require. Correct
(B) The records of the hospital where their father was born date back to 1933.: Goes against the premise. Hospital has no records of 1933.
(C) Virginia and William know the day and the month of their father's birth.: The argument is about the year, not day or month.
(D) There are urgent practical reasons why Virginia and William must know the date of their father's birth.: That's the most irrelevant option I have ever read.
(E) None of their other relatives knows the year in which Virginia and William's father was born.: I take back my statement above, this is the most irrelevant option I have ever read.
