It is travesty of justice, social critic say, that we can launch rockets into outer space but cannot solve social problems that have plagued humanity. The assumption underlying this assertion is that there are greater difficulties involved in a space launch than are involved in ending long-standing social problems, which in turn suggests that a government's failure to achieve the latter is simply a case of mis-palced priorities. The criticism is misplaced, however, for rocket technology is much simpler than the human psyche, and until we adequately understand the human psyche, and until we adequately understand the human psyche we cannot solve the great social problem.

The statement that rocket technology is much simpler than the human psyche plays which one of the following roles in the editorial's argument?

D. It is claimed to be a false assumption on which the reasoning that the argument seeks to undermine rests.
E. It is used by the argument to attempt to undermine the reasoning behind a viewpoint.(OA)

=======
Does "reasoning" refer to from premise to conclusion? If so "rocket technology is much simpler than the human psyche" is the assumption of the reasoning, right?

personally speaking, i think "rocket technology is much simpler than the human psyche" is a sub-conclusion but not an assumption.

"reasoning" refers to from premise to conclusion.

I think:

The criticism is misplaced(conclusion), however, for rocket technology is much simpler than the human psyche(premise), and until we adequately understand the human psyche, we cannot solve the great social problem(premise).

I think "rocket technology is much simpler than the human psyche" just a repeat of "there are greater difficulties involved in a space launch than are involved in ending long-standing social problems", so I picked D. Still not sure why D is incorrect.

Hi lily
Just my opinion, these two clauses are opposing, and the one which question asks is not FALSE to the conclusion. : )
