The foreign minister of Zeria announced today that her country was severing diplomatic relations with Nandalo because of Nandalo
's flagrant violations of human rights. But Zeria continues to maintain diplomatic relations with many countries that the minister knows to have far worse human-rights records than Nandalo does. Therefore, despite the foreign minister's claim, this latest diplomatic move cannot be explained exclusively by Zeria's commitment to upholding human rights. Which one of the following, if true, provides the most support for the argument in the passage?
A) The country that currently buys most of Zeria's exports recently suggested that it might severely restrict its imports from Zeria unless Zeria broke off diplomatic relations with Nandalo.
B) Two weeks after the Zerian minister's announcement, several other countries cited human-rights violations as a reason for severing diplomatic relations with Nandalo.
C) More countries have expressed concern over reported human-rights violations in Nandalo than have expressed concern over human-rights violations in Zeria.
D) Nandalo has considered accusing Zeria of violating the human rights of Nandalo citizens living in Zeria.
E) The opposition party in Zeia has long advocated severing trade relations with countries that systematically violate human rights but has opposed severing diplomatic relations.
Answer: A) The country that currently buys most of Zeria's exports recently suggested that it might severely restrict its imports from Zeria unless Zeria broke off diplomatic relations with Nandalo.
Explanation:
When countries a lot of the times, there is usually an ulterior motive to it and this often comes down to money. In this case, keeping relations with Nandalo must have somehow threatened the money supply to Zeria and so Zeria had to take action against this.
Option A provides a plausible reason as to why this could be the case. If a country that buys a lot of Zeria's exports threatens to stop buying from Zeria, they would be inclined to act in a way that the country wants in order for the country to keep buying those exports and if that includes breaking off relations with Nandalo then it will be done.
