I understand how to reach the correct answer with this question but the problem that messed me up with this passage was the conclusion. How are you arriving at not LMR -> ACDGP?

    Hello @mprezzy, This is how I approached the question. All governments worthy of respect allow citizen dissent. GWR - - - -> ACD No government worthy of respect leaves minorities unprotected. GWR - - - - > Protects Minorities (PM) Thus, any government that protects minorities permits criticism of its policies. PM - - - - -> ACD (I am not sure where you are seeing LMR - -> ACD) What is the flaw here? The author thinks that protecting minorities ensures that a government is worthy of respect, and therefore allows dissent. PM - - > GWR - -> ACD However, protecting minorities is necessary for a respectable government, not sufficient. The author has mistaken a necessary condition for a sufficient one, a classic mistake. Answer choice B makes the same error.
