GMAT Verbal Reasoning Practice Test 1

This argument assumes that the main concern of the Task Force is its own existence. The speaker assumes that the Task Force will present findings that would ensure that the Task Force is not disbanded. The passage did not identify the speaker’s relationship to the leader of the Task Force (choice B) or indicate that the speaker was not asked to join the Task Force (choice C). Neither of these assumptions makes a logical connection between the premise and conclusion of the argument. It is possible that the speaker’s leadership ability will be questioned by the Task Force findings (choice D) or that the Task Force wants to hire more police officers (choice E), but these two assumptions also do not link the premise and conclusion.
