Why can't it be option D, we do welcome outside information in ssumption right?
It's true that the correct answer to an Assumption question can bring up something not mentioned in the passage. At the same time, choice (D) still doesn't work.
The correct answer to an Assumption question is something that must be true for the evidence presented to support the conclusion.
In this case, the evidence is that Walmart has many stores in China but doesn't have stores in India, and the conclusion is that it is difficult for foreigners to do business in India because India doesn’t like foreigners and keeps them away.
To see why (D) is not correct, let's consider how the evidence supports the conclusion. The evidence supports the conclusion by showing that a company that has many stores elsewhere does not have any in India. In other words, the evidence indicates that there is something about India that makes it different, which could be that India keeps foreigners away.
Now, let's look at choice (D):
(D) Any foreign company other than Walmart is also not present in India.Notice that, even if choice (D) is NOT true, and there ARE some foreign companies present in India, the argument could still work. After all, even if there are a few foreign companies present in India, the contrast between Walmart's heavy presence in China and lack of presence in India still tends to indicate that there is something different about India that causes foreign businesses not to be there.
Also, the conclusion is not that it's
impossible for foreigners to do business in India. So, the argument could work even if a few foreign companies are present in India. After all, even if some foreign companies have presences in India, it could still be
difficult for foreigners to do business there.
Thus, the argument does not require the assumption that there is not any foreign company present in India.
