You have two brief passage with 5 questions in each passage. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.

According to Seymour M Hersh, Barack Obama did not tell the whole story when he tried to make the case that Bashar al-Assad was responsible for the chemical weapons attack near Damascus on 21 August. He omitted important intelligence, presented some assumptions as fact and failed to acknowledge that the Syrian army is not the only part in the country's civil war with access to sarin. In the months before the attack, the American intelligence agencies produced a series of highly classified reports citing evidence that the alNusra Front, a jihadi group affiliated with al-Qaeda, had mastered the mechanics of creating sarin and was capable of manufacturing it in quantity. When the attack occurred alNusra should have been a suspect, but the administration cherry-picked intelligence to justify a strike against Assad,writes Hersh. One high-level intelligence officer wrote in an email that the attack was not the result of the current regime.When Obama decided to walk away from his red-line threat to bomb Syria, it appears possible that at some point he was directly confronted with contradictory information: evidence strong enough to persuade him to cancel his attack plan. Hersh ends by saying that the irony of the situation is that while the Syrian regime continues the Process of eliminatingits chemical arsenal, al-Nusra and its Islamist allies could end up as the only faction inside Syria with access to the ingredients that can create sarin
Which of the following statements is based on the facts mentioned in the given passage?

A. Barack Obama elaborated the whole story while trying to accuse Bashar al-Assad for chemical attack on Damascus

B. The onus for the use of chemical weapons near Damascus lies on al-Qaeda

C. Bashar al-Assad successfully averted the effort of chemical attack on Syria

D. According to Barack Obama, none other than Bashar al-Assad is responsible for the 21 August chemical attack on Damascus
