could not decide between A and C .. finally using negation end up choosing A, which seems incorrect as per official answer. Could someone explain with more convincing logic why C not A ??

+1 A C seems more an inference. You must assume that there is certain control of substance P in order to say later that the body has lost control of it. A is the answer.

i selected C by POE
had doubts over A tried negation technique and it did not allowed me to disprove the conclusion. the conclusion still held that even with full control over P the pain can go haywire if not reset.
dont know if that makes any sense

lack of deep sleep --(causes)--> not "resetting" the substace P mechanism --(causes)--> fibromyalgia/pain The underlying Assumption, then is simply: (nothing else) --(causes)--> the same effects. A classic Weakener would then be "[some other factor other than lack of sleep] is in fact the primary cause Choice (C) says: Deep sleep is necessary, meaning that without it, there will be problems. If we negate this, and find that deep sleep isn't necessary, then it's entirely possible that other factors could be the culprits, not the lack of deep sleep.

a. The body has a limited amount of control over neuropeptide substance P. This sounds like another piece of premise, the assumption much contain something which should airtight the conclusion,in which we need to bring the consequences of the problem.b. Fibromyalgia is a completely preventable disorder, if only other conditions are recognized and treated before it can develop. Correct."......If pain becomes body-wide, however, and the mechanism can not be reset, this process may run out of control."stats an assumption that the mechanism is controllable but need utmost care.c. Deep sleep is necessary to the healthy functioning of the nervous system. sounds more like a conclusion.d. The functions of neuropeptides released by the spinal cord must be better understood before a cure for fibromyalgia can be found. is that anywhere connected? e. Because the causes of fibromyalgia are linked to depression, the disorder should be treated by mental health professionals.[/quote] irrelevant since (B) isn't the OA, i would like to request the experts to guide us.

I'll start off by simplifying the argument: 1. F (Fibromyalgia) causes wide body pain. 2. F is caused by lack of deep sleep The assumption is, without deep sleep, the body breaks down and the person suffers constant pain or F. Therefore the only way the conclusion holds true is if deep sleep is necessary to avoid F. Or, as answer (C) has it: (C) Deep sleep is necessary to the healthy functioning of the nervous system.

I go with A. I thought C was no were near as it says "Deep sleep is necessary to the healthy functioning of the nervous system." . For me this is out of scope.
