I don't understand the correct answer. The original statement sounds like it is blaming the administration and the President would have gotten an A. The correct answer blames the President and says the Administration would have gotten an A. That's a completely different meaning

I agree with Kathleen. The correct answer changes the meaning the original sentence completely. I do not understand how that is the correct answer.

I actually agree with you and Kathleen too. The explanation I can offer is that the other choices are worse than the answer.
