If Shero wins the election, McGuinness will be appointed head of the planning commission. But Stauning is more qualified to head it since he is an architect who has been on the planning commission for 15 years. Unless the polls are grossly inaccurate, Shero will win.

Which one of the following can be properly inferred from the information above?

(A) If the polls are grosslyinaccurate , someone more qualified than McGuinness will be appointed head of the planning commission. - WRONG. Not the set discussed in the passage. Not inferable thus.

(B) McGuinness will be appointed head of the planning commission onlyif the polls are a good indication of how the election will turn out. - WRONG. "Only if" creates a limitation that is not fully justifiable since there can be other factors leading to his appointment.

(C) Either Shero will win the election or Stauning will beappointed head of the planning commission. - WRONG. No corelation as such between the two.

(D) McGuinness
