Eliminating (E)

@mf93, Happy to help. Let's take a look at (E). (E) says, "The people directly involved in implementing policies are always able to make innovative and realistic policy decisions." The stimulus tells us that the people responsible for decision making are directly involved in implementing the policies they design and that divisions functioning autonomously always permits more realistic planning and strongly encourages innovation. However, do we have support that the people directly involved in implementing policies are ALWAYS able to make innovative and realistic policy decision? No, we don't. While it looks like more realistic planning is always permitted and innovation is encouraged, this doesn't guarantee that the people directly involved in implementing the policies are always able to make innovative and realistic policy decisions. Additionally, more realistic planning doesn't tell us if the threshold for 'realistic' has even been met. It just means that it's closer to realistic, but we don't know if the policy decisions are realistic or not. In short, this answer choice is simply too strong for us to conclude. Thus, (E) is out. Does this make sense? Let us know if you have any other questions!

Thanks a lot, Ravi. It absolutely makes sense. I appreciate the help.
