Below is an excerpt from a letter that was sent by the chairman of a corporation to the stockholders.
A number of charges have been raised against me, some serious, some trivial. Individuals seeking to control the corporation for their own purposes have demanded my resignation. Remember that no court of law in any state has found me guilty of any criminal offense whatsoever. In the American tradition, as you know, an individual is considered innocent until proven guilty. Furthermore, as the corporation’s unbrokensix-yearrecord of growth will show, my conduct of my official duties as chairman has only helped enhance the success of the corporation, and so benefited every stockholder.
Which of the following can be properly inferred from the excerpt?
(A) The chairman believes that all those who have demanded his resignation are motivated by desire to control the corporation for their own purposes.
(B) Any misdeeds that the chairman may have committed were motivated by his desire to enhance the success of the corporation.
(C) The chairman is innocent of any criminal offense.
(D) The corporation has expanded steadily over the past sixyears.
(E) Any legal proceedings against the chairman have resulted in his acquittal.

答案是D，为什么不选B或者A呢？
是不是因为A是直接等于“ Individuals seeking to control the corporation for their own purposes have demanded my resignation”这句话，所以不能算推论啊？

Must-be-true.

Therefore, you cannot put words into the chairman's mouth or make a statement that is as strong as B (ANY misdeeds)

Must-be-true question requires a correct answer choice which must be true under all circumstance.

An answer choice which uses the words All, Must, Each, Every, Any, requires the statement within the answer choice as true ALL the time, without any exception. This is too restrictive and probably wrong, since most of the time, the passage/stimulus would not give an air-tight argument.

Therefore an answer choice not using strong language is more likely to be a correct answer choice.
