Reading the passage
UNHCR's position is likely to affect how national asylum laws are interpreted. Why? Many national laws use terms developed under the international consensus UNHCR represents. A new interpretation at that international level can therefore influence the same language in national law.
Working the answers
- A
We aren't given a comparison saying the UN documents are interpreted more narrowly. Influence doesn't tell us which set of terms receives the narrower reading.
- B
This gives us a national-first history: national terms were compiled into the UN documents. The text instead explains national terms through an international consensus. It doesn't supply the history B needs.
- CCorrect
A new interpretation in a UN document is likely to influence the interpretation of a similar national-law term. That closely matches the final paragraph’s prediction that domestic asylum laws will likely be read in light of the UNHCR position (paragraph 4).
- D
Likely influence is not a requirement that every wording change must appear in national law. This strengthens the relationship into a binding rule and shifts from interpretation to mandatory wording changes.
- E
Nothing says the national and international terms directly oppose each other. The writer explains a connection through shared international consensus, not a conflict between their definitions.
