Logical reasoning PrepTest 117 · Section 4 · Question 8

This answer is too strong. While there are serious problems for this party to address, we don’t know if they’ll succeed or not, and we don’t know how long they’ll stay in power. Also, we have no idea how long the previously dominant party was in power, so this comparison is out of scope.

This answer brings the information together without going too far. The insurgent party is established as having pretty serious disagreements, and so those will need to be addressed for the party not to tear itself apart. This answer doesn’t speak to whether they’ll succeed or not, or how they’ll go about addressing the issues - it just raises that there are issues they need to address.

Just because the insurgent party’s factions have differing opinions doesn’t mean that they won’t be able to find a compromise ideology to work from. This answer assumes they won’t be successful in hashing out their differences, and there’s no definitive proof of that in the stimulus.

There’s no discussion of what happens to the ousted party, let alone a strong enough statement to establish that that party “always” sticks around in opposition.

This answer is way too extreme in stating that overcoming these differences is impossible. While they’re of the scale that led them to take on the dominant party, they may decide that staying in power and effecting change is more important than some of these issues, thus allowing for compromise.
