【答案解析】Argument Construction
Situation The interview is a necessary part of hiring because candidates with unsuitable personalities are eliminated from consideration.
Reasoning What is being assumed in this argument? The argument puts forth one reason that the interview is important: it eliminates candidates with unsuitable personalities. This presupposes that interviewers can, with a fair degree of accuracy, rule out those candidates whose personalities do not fit the needs of the job.
A The argument does not go so far as to say that interviews guarantee a successful hiring program.
B The argument does not prioritize the parts of a hiring program.
C Correct. This statement properly identifies the assumption underlying the argument.
D The argument gives one reason that the interview is important, but it does not say it is the only reason.
E This concerns past practices in hiring, and is irrelevant to the argument.
The correct answer is C.
