Incumbent candidate for governor: As the people of our great state know, my administration has created unprecedented economic prosperity and job growth. Just look at the unemployment rate, which has reached its lowest point in nearly twenty years!
Opposing candidate for governor: That’s preposterous. You overlook the fact that the unemployment rate is just as much a function of the number of people in the labor market as much as it is of the number of people employed. Your greatest contribution to the economy has been a series of retirement parties and moves to other states!
The opposing candidate’s reply to the incumbent proceeds by:
A. Supplying a statistic that undermines the incumbent’s conclusion.
B. Suggesting that the incumbent’s statistic is factually inaccurate.
C. Offering a statistic that sheds additional light on the statistic supplied by the incumbent.
D. Claiming that the incumbent used a statistic irrelevant to his conclusion.
E. Pointing out that the incumbent cited a statistic that does not necessarily support his conclusion

The question wants us to find out how does the Opposing candidate respond to the Incumbent
A. Supplying a statistic that undermines the incumbent’s conclusion.
The conclusion is not undermined
B. Suggesting that the incumbent’s statistic is factually inaccurate.
The Opposing member does not suggest that
C. Offering a statistic that sheds additional light on the statistic supplied by the incumbent.
This is close but it suggests that the Opposing member is kind of adding to the Incumbents argument rather than opposing it
D. Claiming that the incumbent used a statistic irrelevant to his conclusion.
This is not true. He only suggests additional factors involved that were overlooked
E. Pointing out that the incumbent cited a statistic that does not necessarily support his conclusion
Correct. The fact that the Incumbent is basing his statistic does not have a solid base since there is an overall employee population decline
Option E

The opposing candidate’s reply to the incumbent proceeds by:
Let's analyse each option regarding the opposing candidate's reply one by one..POE..
A. Supplying a statistic that undermines the incumbent’s conclusion.
No statistical data has been presented by the opposing candidate , in response to the claim by the incumbent candidate relating to lowest figures for unemployment rates.
B. Suggesting that the incumbent’s statistic is factually inaccurate.
This is not true, since the opposing candidate has partially agreed, before higlighting that the incumbent candidate has overlooked certain important parameters towards measuring the employment parametes.
C. Offering a statistic that sheds additional light on the statistic supplied by the incumbent.
Similar to A. Here, No statistical data has been presented by the opposing candidate , in response to the claim by the incumbent candidate relating to lowest figures for unemployment rates. The opposing candidate has just highlighted additional important parameters towards measuring the employment rates, aiming to prove to the incumbent candidate that the conclusion regarding lowest point is NOT adeaquately supported.
D. Claiming that the incumbent used a statistic irrelevant to his conclusion.
This is not true, since the opposing candidate has partially agreed to the incumbent candidate's argument. In turn, it depicts that opposing candidate doesn't argue with respect to 'relevance' of the statistical data.
E. Pointing out that the incumbent cited a statistic that does not necessarily support his conclusion
As already explained while analysing Option (C), the opposing candidate replied to incumbent candidate by highlighting additional important parameters that need to be kept in mind while towards measuring the employment rates, aiming to prove to the incumbent candidate that the conclusion regarding 'lowest point of employment rates' is NOT adeaquately supported
Option (E) is the correct answer.
Hope this helps.
