Critics of Federal Reserve argue that hyperinflation is evident because an increase in money supply by the Federal Reserve will lead to a devaluation of US dollars, making imports more expensive. The reality cannot be more different. The increased capital flow would actually enable US companies to export high value products such as cars, increasing the demand for US dollar and improving the purchasing power of the average American.
The two portions in boldface play which of the following roles in the argument?
A. The first is the prediction that the argument on the whole supports; the second is a fact that will be true.
B. The first is the position that the argument opposes; the second is the evidence provided to refute that position.
C. The first is an evidence used to oppose a position; the second is that position.
D. The first is the prediction that the argument on the whole opposes; the second is another prediction that the argument believes will come true.
E. The first is the position that the argument supports; the second is evidence cited to oppose that position.

Hi, can anyone explain why b is a correct answer? And how is the argument trying to oppose the position presented by the first highlighted text?

I'll try to explain what I thought.
I tried to identify the "Claim" and the "Evidence"
We need to see that "hyperinflation is evident" is a Claim, or a "position". It is NOT a prediction because of the word "argues".
Then A, and D are out => "prediction"
The Evidence is neither in the first bold part nor in the second. The Evidence is after the word "because".
Then C is out => Out of scope of the bold part
Then we can hesitate between B and E
BUT, in E, the arguments does not "Support" in the second part which is "cannot be more different". Thus, it opposes this point of view.
Then B is out => "Cannot be"
Hence, B seems more "logical".
Is this a clear way of reasoning ?
