Consumer advocate: The toy-labeling law should require manufacturers to provide explicit safety labels on toys to indicate what hazards the toys pose. The only labels currently required by law are labels indicating the age range for which a toy is intended. For instance, a “three and up” label is required on toys that pose a choking hazard for children under three years of age. Although the current toy-labeling law has indeed reduced the incidence of injuries to children from toys, parents could prevent such injuries almost entirely if toy labels provided explicit safety information.

The statement that the law should require explicit safety labels on toys serves which one of the following functions in the consumer advocate’s argument?


(A) It is a general principle supporting the conclusion of the argument.

(B) It is a proposed compromise between two conflicting goals.

(C) It is the conclusion of the argument.

(D) It is evidence that must be refuted in order to establish the conclusion of the argument.

(E) It is a particular instance of the general position under discussion.


Identify the conclusion question

To those people who are not familiar with the identification of the conclusion I would suggest the following method.

If your are in doubt between two statements ask yourself: Is statement 1 because of statement 2? Or is statement 2 because of statement 1?


Applying this reasoning to the case at hand:

Is "The toy-labeling law should require manufacturers to provide explicit safety labels on toys to indicate what hazards the toys pose." because of " Although the current toy-labeling law has indeed reduced the incidence of injuries to children from toys, parents could prevent such injuries almost entirely if toy labels provided explicit safety information." or vice versa?

Clearly statement 1 in this case is because of statement 2 and hence the conclusion.
