GMAT Club World Cup 2022 (DAY 6): For manufacturing of the vaccine Flu

Imo E

1st bold statement: It is a general understanding or perception.
2nd bold statement: Supported by the 1st bold face.
Author's opinion: However, the idea of the financial controllers may not be effective because a catalyst used in the process cannot withstand such levels of temperature fluctuations.
Author opposes the financial controllers position.

A. The first is an objection against the opinion of the author; the second is the opinion of the author.
First is not an objection. Second is the opinion of financial controllers.
B. The first is the opinion of the author; the second is the opinion that the author calls into question.
First is perceived by the Financial controllers. Second: Author do object this idea.
C. The first is a perception that has been offered in support of the opinion that the author calls into question; the second is a condition on which that perception is based.
First part is correct. Second: Perception is not based on the second bold face rather it's the opposite.
D. The first is a claim that the author calls into question; the second is the opinion of the author.
First is not objected by author. Second is the opinion of Financial controllers.
E. The first is a perception that has been offered in support of the opinion that the argument calls into question; the second is that opinion.
Correct. In line with our understanding.

For manufacturing of the vaccine Fluvax, the first step is to grow a particular virus InfluX under strictly controlled temperature conditions, in the range of -65 degree celsius to -67 degree celsius, within a bioreactor. Tests on the virus show that it can actually grow well in a broader range of temperature, even up to a temperature as high as -50 degree celsius. Since growing the virus successfully is the most important step of manufacturing the vaccine, as some financial controllers think, by relaxing the temperature conditions the manufacturing costs can be significantly reduced without risking the loss of the batch. However, the idea of the financial controllers may not be effective because a catalyst used in the process cannot withstand such levels of temperature fluctuations.

In the argument above, the two boldfaced parts play which of the following roles?

The correct answer is E. The first bold sentence is a perception supporting the opinion that the argument calls into question; the second is that opinion.

A. The first is an objection against the opinion of the author; the second is the opinion of the author.
--> The first is not an objection. Incorrect

B. The first is the opinion of the author; the second is the opinion that the author calls into question.
--> The first is not the opinion of the author. Incorrect

C. The first is a perception that has been offered in support of the opinion that the author calls into question; the second is a condition on which that perception is based.
--> The second is not a condition, but the opinion of the "financial controllers"

D. The first is a claim that the author calls into question; the second is the opinion of the author.
--> The second is not the opinion of the author

E. The first is a perception that has been offered in support of the opinion that the argument calls into question; the second is that opinion.
--> Perception = "growing the virus successfully is the most important step of manufacturing the vaccine"
Opinion = "relaxing the temperature conditions the manufacturing costs can be significantly reduced without risking the loss of the batch"
This is correct

IMHO Option E

ANSWER E

Author's conclusion: the idea of the financial controllers may not be effective because a catalyst used in the process cannot withstand such levels of temperature fluctuations.

Starting with the second statement: the manufacturing costs can be significantly reduced without risking the loss of the batch
This is something opposite of what the author thinks. A & D are out
Also this not a condition, more of a proposal or a plan. Hence C is also out

First statement: growing the virus successfully is the most important step of manufacturing the vaccine
The author clearly agrees with this statement, not his opinion. B is out.

Boy I hope you like E

In the argument above, the two boldfaced parts play which of the following roles?

A. The first is an objection against the opinion of the author; the second is the opinion of the author.
Growing the virus successfully -- is a perception on which the second bold-faced statement is based..INCORRECT option

B. The first is the opinion of the author; the second is the opinion that the author calls into question.
Growing the virus successfully -- is a perception on which the second bold-faced statement is based..It 's not the opinion of the author..INCORRECT option

C. The first is a perception that has been offered in support of the opinion that the author calls into question; the second is a condition on which that perception is based.
The first bod-faced statement is indeed a perception on whose support the latter bold-faced statement (an opinion the argument calls into question) thrives..Here, the second bold faced statement explanation is incorrect..INCORRECT option

D. The first is a claim that the author calls into question; the second is the opinion of the author.
The first is not a claim..It ie, Growing the virus successfully -- is a perception on which the second bold-faced statement is based..INCORRECT option

E. The first is a perception that has been offered in support of the opinion that the argument calls into question; the second is that opinion.
The first bod-faced statement is indeed a perception on whose support the latter bold-faced statement (an opinion the argument calls into question) thrives..CORRECT option

CORRECT option is (E)

Information:
Vaccine production requires growing a virus which grows at -65 to -67 temperatures but can also grow as high up to -50 temperatures
Some financial analysts think that since growing the vaccine is the most important, and if it can grow in lower temperatures then why not save some money in the process as well
But their plan might not work since there is a catalyst involved which does not function well in temperature fluctuations
Let us now jump into the options

A. The first is an objection against the opinion of the author; the second is the opinion of the author.

The second is not the opinion of the author. ELIMINATE

B. The first is the opinion of the author; the second is the opinion that the author calls into question.

The first is also not the opinion of the author. ELIMINATE

C. The first is a perception that has been offered in support of the opinion that the author calls into question; the second is a condition on which that perception is based.

Growing virus is the most important part is NOT based on the condition that manufacturing costs can be reduced without any risk of loss of batch

D. The first is a claim that the author calls into question; the second is the opinion of the author.

The second is not the opinion of the author. ELIMINATE

E. The first is a perception that has been offered in support of the opinion that the argument calls into question; the second is that opinion.

First part which states that growing the virus is the most important part is in support of the next part which says that reducing temperature will reduce cost but not result in batch loss, and this is the opinion that is called into question by the argument

Answer - E

For manufacturing of the vaccine Fluvax, the first step is to grow a particular virus InfluX under strictly controlled temperature conditions, in the range of -65 degree celsius to -67 degree celsius, within a bioreactor. Tests on the virus show that it can actually grow well in a broader range of temperature, even up to a temperature as high as -50 degree celsius.
