I see why B is right, and in hindsight, I should have broken this down into conditional language. But, I want to be sure I understand why A is wrong.
Is A wrong because we never really said anything about the outcome of the election? Instead, we just said we didn't want it to go to public vote? Because if we assumed A, it still really wouldn't tell us why a member of city council should abstain, right?

How did you know to ignore the first part of the stimulus?

It's not possibly useful. Go back to our introduction video, where we were using math as an example. Imagine a full argument saying that "Numbers are either positive, negative, or zero. Here, we have five and two. So we'll end up with eleven." The first sentence just doesn't add anything at all to the argument.
Same thing here!
