VeritasKarishma - per the conclusion - "if x happens, "MOST FRUITS" will no longer be available to consumers.

Question 1) should one assume that when "MOST FRUITS" is mentioned, the author of the argument is referring to
a) Fruits home - grown in America (on American farms)
OR
b) Fruits imported from other countries into America (example : Alfonso mangoes in USA are obviously imported from Asia as these types of mangoes cannot be grown in the USA)
OR
c) both [home grown fruits will not be available and imported fruits from other countries will also not be available]

I assumed "MOST FRUITS" was referring to option A only

Was that a mistake on my part ?

The conclusion is exactly what is given - "Most fruits will not be available"
This would mean that most fruits will not be available from any source - neither domestic supply, nor foreign supply. You cannot assume that it is referring to A only.

Sometimes, the argument will talk about some specific cases but the conclusion will make a blanket statement generalising it to other cases too. Beware of this and note that the conclusion is going beyond.
