Necessary assumptions was challenging, so it's nice to see that it was just one particular unit I was struggling with, and that I was capable of doing this. A nice little confidence booster.
@CollinEsquirol I'm going to try to explain how I thought about this question here! So the phrase we are analyzing is "private ownership of the means of production ultimately destroys any society that sanctions it," which can be found in the first sentence. This sentence begins with the phrase "some people have maintained," so I know it is a concession point (also given that the rest of the argument refutes it). So then, I read the answer choices.
A is wrong because it isn't no more applicable to less technologically advanced societies than to more technologically advanced societies. This is saying it is not applicable equally to either of the societies compared. The argument actually takes a stance on this, and says that this is potentially true of lesstechnologically advanced societies.
B is also wrong because it isn't really a hypothesis, and isn't explained by the argument. It is refuted by the argument!
C is our right answer here because it correctly identifies how the argument suggests this concession point is applicable to the sharing of resources (we see this because the second sentence says it is true of less technologically advanced societies that must share resources to survive, and the answer just condenses this to "sharing of resources"), and only may be true for societies dependent on the introduction of new technologies (which is supported by the 3rd sentence which is a premise).
D is wrong because it isn't incompatible with the needs of any society. The argument admits that it might in fact beapplicable to a less technologically advanced society. Finally, E is wrong because the argument doesn't say that this is true for any society which matches the rest of the answer choice, just that it may be applicable to less tech advanced societies. We don't know what the argument thinks about other societies here, it is out of the scope of the argument!
