An undergraduate degree is necessary for appointment to the executive board. Further, no one with a felony conviction can be appointed to the board. Thus, Murray, an accountant with both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree, cannot be accepted for the position of Executive Administrator, since he has a felony conviction.
The argument’s conclusion follows logically if which one of the following is assumed?
- Anyone with a master’s degree and without a felony conviction is eligible for appointment to the executive board.
- Only candidates eligible for appointment to the executive board can be accepted for the position of Executive Administrator.
- An undergraduate degree is not necessary for acceptance for the position of Executive Administrator.
- If Murray did not have a felony conviction, he would be accepted for the position of Executive Administrator.
- The felony charge on which Murray was convicted is relevant to the duties of the position of Executive Administrator.
