单选题 Since Mayor Drabble always repays her political debts as soon as possible, she will almost certainly appoint Lee to be the new head of the arts commission. Lee has wanted that job for a long time, and Drabble owes Lee a lot for his support in the last election.
Which one of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

A、 Mayor Drabble has no political debt that is both of longer standing than the one she owes to Lee and could as suitable be repaid by an appointment to be the new head of the arts commission.
B、 There is no one to whom Mayor Drabble owes a greater political debt for support in the last election than the political debt she owes to Lee.
C、 Lee is the only person to whom Mayor Drabble owes a political debt who would be willing to accept an appointment from her as the new head of the arts commission.
D、 Whether Lee is qualified to head the arts commission is irrelevant to Mayor Drabble's decision.
E、 (E) The only way that Mayor Drabble can adequately repay her political debt to Lee is by appointing him to head the arts commission.

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 根据题中段落的论述可知Drabble市长现有的一个偿还政治债务的方法是委任某人为艺术委员会的领导，Lee是Drabble的债权人之一，并且Drabble通常会尽快偿还她在政治上的债务，所以要使Drabble委任Lee为艺术委员会的首领，那一定是没有其他债务的偿还会比委任Lee为艺术委员会首领更及时、更合适，所以很明显(A)是正确的答案；(D)选项与短文的论述无关；(B)、(C)和(E)选项都不能从段落中推出。
