Clear D. It cant be A because we(and the passage) are not concerned with what is favourable to Patria. So that puts A out of scope.

A discord means - some FOR and some AGAINST isnt it. So, we cannot say for sure that the opinion is likely to favour Patria.
Hope I'm talking sense

Re: CR - trade embargo [#permalink]

Answer Explanation
Situation If an embargo against Patria’s ports were released then it would trigger an international discord over the embargo.
Reasoning What is being suggested as a conclusion for this argument? The argument implies a variance between world countries regarded to Patria’s ports embargo. It is reasonable to assume that eventually the embargo would be canceled because it is need to have at least international agreement in such issues.
A. The passage does not discuss about balance of opinion and even what kind of opinion related to Patria’s ports embargo exists here.
B. The stimulus doesn’t concern about international agreement against Patria. That could be true but it is out of our scope. Because it is predicted that an controversy would be happened .
C. The statement could be true, but the embargo is not realistic in terms international discord over the embargo. So it can not be considered as a main conclusion.
D. Correct. Here we have the exact result from the passage information.
E. It is not conclusion, i.e. it just states again the condition of successful embargo.
