Summary
If one has a serious medical condition, they would not rely on the average person to prescribe their treatment. Similarly, since a good public servant has the interest of the public at heart… (the right answer will be the conclusion)

A good public servant should not rely on an average person to make decisions about the public.

Which one of the following ██████████ █████ ████ ██████████ ████████ ███ █████████
a
public servants should ███ ██ █████████ █████ ███ ████████ ██ ██████ ███████ ███████
This is too strong to support. The analogous argument in the stimulus suggests that a public servant should not rely solely on public opinion. It does not imply that they should completely disregard it.
b
the average public ███████ █████ ████ █████ ████ ██ ████ ███ ███████ ████ ███ ███████ ██████ ████
The stimulus does not say anything to support a comparison between an average public servant and the average person.
c
public servants should ██ ████ █████████████ █████ ███ ██████ ████ ████ ████ ███
Nothing in this analogous argument directly suggests that a public servant should be more knowledgeable. It is only about who they should not rely on when making decisions.
d
public servants should ████ █████████ ██ █████████ █████ ████ ███ ███████ ████████ ███████████████
This follows the analogous argument perfectly by emphasizing that public servants, like those with serious medical conditions, should not rely on those without expertise when making decisions.
e
one is a ████ ██████ ███████ ██ ███ ██ ████ █████████████ █████ ███ ██████ ████ ████ ██ ███ ███████ ██████
There is nothing in this argument about the conditions that make one a good public servant. The stimulus is about decision-making, not what makes a good public servant.
