PrepTest 77, Section 2, Question 6
Political analyst: Several years ago, McFarlane, the military dictator, had Brooks, the former prime minister, arrested on charges of corruption. After years of negotiation, McFarlane has pardoned Brooks, and she has agreed to join his government. Almost all of McFarlane's supporters believe that Brooks is guilty of corruption. Moreover, almost all of McFarlane's opponents will oppose anyone who agrees to join his government. So Brooks will have few supporters in this country.

The political analyst's argument depends on the assumption that
Brooks's joining McFarlane's government inappropriately gives that government a semblance of legitimacy
there is less corruption in the country's government now than when Brooks was prime minister
Brooks's political positions do not overlap with those of McFarlane
most people in the country are either supporters or opponents of McFarlane
the charges on which Brooks was arrested were unfounded
