In the harder sufficientassumption questions the test writers like to add a answer choices that are necessary assumptions for the argument (vice versa for necessary assumption).

I used some of those other methods PS, in particular, but once I started using JY method of reading the questionstem first, I began to pick up steam real fast. It helps you identify certain keys to the question type.
The answer choice (A) is an assumption that justifies the conclusion, but potentially there could be other reasons. So (A) is a sufficientassumption for the conclusion, not a necessary one.
