Editor: Chippzo recently introduced a caramel flavoured potato chip in the US market. Around the same time, Funchips, another US--based potato chips manufacturer also introduced a very similar product – a potato chip sweetened using jaggery. Allegations of corporate espionage by Chippzo have been raised by some investigative journalists, who claim that Chippzo accessed R&D ideas being worked on by Funchips. Certain emails sent to senior Chippzo executives with details about Funchips' product research were provided by the journalists as evidence. It is premature to jump to the conclusion that Chippzo is the only guilty party here, however, because this is a sector where corporate espionage is rampant all across. In all likelihood, it may only be a matter of days before we find evidence of Funchip accessing Chippzo's R&D ideas.
In the editor's argument, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
A. The first provides evidence in support of the overall position that the editor takes; the second is reasoning that the editor uses to support that position.
B. The first provides evidence in support of a position which the argument opposes; the second is a consideration that is made in support of the main conclusion.
C. The first provides evidence in support of a conclusion made in the argument; the second is a consideration that is made in support of the main conclusion.
D. The first provides evidence in support of a position which the argument opposes; the second is a consideration that is made in support of that position.
E. The first is a consideration made in support of a conclusion in the argument; the second is the main conclusion of the argument.

The first boldface portion, "Allegations of corporate espionage by Chippzo have been raised by some investigative journalists, who claim that Chippzo accessed R&D ideas being worked on by Funchips," provides evidence in support of the conclusion that allegations of corporate espionage have been made against Chippzo.
The second boldface portion, "In all likelihood, it may only be a matter of days before we find evidence of Funchip accessing Chippzo's R&D ideas," is a consideration that supports the main conclusion of the argument, which is that it is premature to conclude that Chippzo is the only guilty party because corporate espionage is rampant in the sector.
Therefore, option C accurately describes the roles of the boldface portions in the editor's argument.

In the argument, the first boldfaced portion presents allegations of corporate espionage by Chippzo, which is evidence supporting the conclusion that Chippzo may have accessed Funchips' R&D ideas. The second boldfaced portion introduces a consideration stating that corporate espionage is rampant in the industry, implying that Funchips may also be guilty of accessing Chippzo's R&D ideas. This consideration supports the main conclusion that it is premature to conclude that Chippzo is the only guilty party.
The two boldfaced portions in the editor's argument play the following roles:
Boldface 1 : provides evidence in support of a conclusion made in the argument;
Boldface 2 : is a consideration that is made in support of the main conclusion.
