Hi Stello,
Based on your explanation, I think that you may be unclear on either what type of question this is or how to approach this question type.
This is an Assumption question (what some people call a necessary assumption question). An assumption is simply an unstated premise. In other words, it is a statement that is necessary for the argument.
You should not choose an answer because that answer has no effect on the conclusion. Many wrong answers have no effect on the conclusion. Instead you want to choose the answer that is necessary for the argument.
More information on Assumption questions, including the Assumption Negation Technique (which is PowerScore's recommended strategy for solving these questions), can be found in "The Logical Reasoning Bible" or in any of PowerScore LSAT courses.
