请教LSAT：TEST ONE__SECTION IV__13

That gadget I bought for the kitchen last week has already broken. It's just another example of the shoddy products that we are seeing more and more of these days. The thing was probably manufactured in East Golo.
Which one of the following is the best expression of an unstated premise that underlies the author's reasoning in the passage?

(A)If a manufacture uses shoddy materials to make a gadget, the gadget is likely to break quickly.

(B)If a gadget breaks quickly, it was probably manufactured in East Golo.

(C)If a kitchen gadget was manufactured in East Golo, it should not be sold in this country.

(D)If everything that is manufactured in East Golo breaks quickly, then kitchen gadgets manufactured in East Golo are likely to break quickly.

(E)Nothing that is manufactured in East Golo can be expected to last more than a week.

B.
Why E is wrong?

谢谢楼上的提供的思路，欢迎更多的战友参加这样的讨论。
我补充一下：用这种思路最好是已经有不错的逻辑基础的朋友，因为填补gap有很多种可能性，往往预测的和实际答案相差甚远，如果逻辑基础不强则会陷入自己先入为主的答案选不出来。此外，还涉及楼上提到的扩大推理的问题，如这道题目E是assumption的一种最极端的可能，E如果成立提干肯定成立，所以E是最好的桥梁但不能成为assumption答案，如果用填补gap法则很容易误选。
所以，我觉得楼上的不失为一种好方法，但要谨慎使用，如果不能十分确定还是用标准方法检验一下。

ASSUMPTION 可以用取非, 但由于无法预测答案, 比较耗时. 可以用"桥梁法"

1. 分清ARGUMENT和CONLUSION

2. 找出ARGUMENT 和CONLUSION 所涉及的名词概念, 找出差异, 即是论述的GAP

3.挑出选项中能弥补这一GAP的.

注意用收敛思维, 文中没论述的千万要小心. 如本题的E

补充一下：做assumption题目的标准方法是将选项取非，如果能使原命题不成立则为正确答案。简而言之选项取非后当weaken来做。
本题中 B,If a gadget breaks quickly, it was probably manufactured in East Golo取非则为如果gadget很快坏掉，则不可能为EG地方制造。显然是提干不成立。
E，Nothing that is manufactured in East Golo can be expected to last more than a week.
取非则为：EG造的东西存在被认为能用一周以上的东东，显然不能削弱提干。

E所述的是极端情况，原文无法推出。
（逻辑题中极端情况的选项大多数错误）

E的范围太大了
