12/2/5. The government has proposed a plan requiring young people to perform services to correct various current social ills, especially those in education and housing. Government service, however, should be compelled only in response to a direct threat to the nation's existence. For that reason, the proposed program should not be implemented.

Which one of the following is an assumption on which the government depends?

(A) Government-required service by young people cannot correct all social ills.

(B) The nation’s existence is directly threatened only in times of foreign attack.

(C) Crises in education and housing constitute a threat to the nation's existence.

(D) The nation's young people believe that current social ills pose no direct threat to the nation's existence.

(E) Some of the social ills that currently afflict the nation do not pose a direct threat to the nation's existence.

从答案E倒推  来看government似乎应该是ARGUMENT

我一时间转不过弯来

为了correct various current social ills, especially those in education and housing.，政府拟订了个PLAN去perform services 。

但Government service只有在a direct threat to the nation's existence 时才应该执行

所以  the proposed program should not be implemented

问GOVERNMENT的ASSUMPTION

我的回答  因为是问GOVERMENT  所以我选了C

This is an interesting questioin.
The opposite of E is “All social ills ... pose direct threats ...”.
However, since government is only proposing the plan ... “to correct variouscurrent social ills, especially those in education and housing”,  apparently the government is not thinking thatall social ills post threats.
