Explanation
The premises describe legislative norms concerning passing of bills. The political scientist's statements do not lead to a single concluding claim but rather describe the dynamics of legislative decision-making. In this question, we are looking for a statement that directly contradicts the premises outlined by the political scientist.
A. Does not contradict the premises. It states an outcome that is possible under the described legislative norms.
B. Also plausible, as it does not conflict with the premises about when bills typically pass.
C. (Correct Response) This must be false. If compromises are not possible for bills concerning issues of fundamental importance to a large bloc, then these bills cannot usually pass as a result of compromises. This statement goes against the explicit premise that compromises are impossible in such situations.
D. This is not necessarily false given the premises but is not directly addressed by the political scientist's statements.
E. Like D, this could be true or false, but it's not contradicted by the premises laid out by the political scientist.
The correct analysis indicates that statement C must be false as it conflicts with the political scientist's third premise.
