Editorial: Our political discussions tend to focus largely on the flaws of our nation's leaders, but we need to remind ourselves that these leaders were chosen democratically. The real question that needs answering is how our nation's institutions and procedures enable such people to attain positions of power. Thus, to focus our attention on the flaws of our leaders is to indulge in a pointless distraction.

Question
8

Which one of the following is an assumption that the argument requires?

Examining an individual leader's personal flaws does not reveal anything about how the nation's institutions and procedures influence the selection of leaders.

Political discussions that focus on the flaws of the nation's leaders will become even more common if the nation's institutions and procedures are not examined.

The workings of the nation's current institutions and procedures ensure that only flawed individuals will attain positions of power.

As yet, no one in the nation has made the effort to critically examine the details of the nation's institutions and procedures.

Concentrating on the flaws of the nation's leaders creates greater dissatisfaction with those leaders.
