notwithstanding
The argument says " If students start drinking more soft drinks " ---> " They will be less healthy "
The argument assumes students are more interested in soft drinks so if placed in cafeteria would definitely consume more
What if student aren't interested then placing machines will not have any effect
Option A
Option (B) Negating this would strengthen the conclusion
Option (C) Argument doesn't compare amounts of consuming soft drink, also the statement is too extreme with the use of " at all"
Option (D) By negating this option we get " Students will bring soft drinks from home ", how is this stopping soft drink machines from being deployed
Option (E) Even if this option seems correct, how it is relating soft drinks & student's health

The argument presented is that allowing soft drink vending machines in the cafeteria would not be in the students' interest because it could lead to them drinking more soft drinks, which would make them less healthy. This argument is based on the premise that consuming more soft drinks is detrimental to one's health.
Option (A) accurately summarizes this premise by stating that if the vending machines were placed in the cafeteria, students would consume more soft drinks as a result. This option supports the argument's conclusion that allowing the machines would not be in the students' interest.
Option (B) is not relevant because the argument does not address whether the amount of soft drinks currently consumed by students is detrimental to their health.
Option (C) is also not relevant because the argument does not compare the health benefits of not drinking soft drinks at all to drinking small amounts occasionally.
Option (D) is not relevant because the argument does not address whether students will bring soft drinks from home if the vending machines are not present.
Option (E) is not relevant because the argument does not discuss the school's primary concern.
Therefore, the argument depends on option (A) to support its conclusion that allowing soft drink vending machines in the cafeteria would not be in the students' interest.

premise: it would be beneficial to our school if we allowed soft vending machines
conclusion: we shouldn't allow them [ soft vending machines]
I am looking for the answer choices which bridge the gap between the premise and conclusion.
a) it sounds good. keep it
b) if the amount of soft drinks is not detrimental to their health. why they shouldn't allow them? it is also the premise against.
c)What students want is not our concern. we are looking for why they shouldn't allow them in the school.
d)we aren't concerned about whether students get a soft drink from home or not. it doesn't impact our conclusion at all
e) it sounds very attractive, isn't it? why shouldn't allow soft vending machines in school?
because our primary concern is our students' health. when you see an attractive question, ask whether it really fills the gap between the premise and the conclusion of the given argument. if not then it is wrong.
Why option choice A is right. first, it connects the given premises and conclusion but how did I know that connects both the given premise and the conclusion?
let's see side by side
premise: It would be beneficial to our school if we allowed soft vending machines
Assumption: If the soft drink vending machines were placed in the cafeteria, students would consume more soft drinks as a result.
conclusion: we shouldn't allow them [ soft vending machines]
conclusion: we shouldn't allow them [ soft vending machines]
