Ned: The compensation provided to teachers in government schools has been so low that it fails to attract good quality teachers to join government schools. Accordingly, the Seventh Pay Commission has proposed a raise in the pay scales. However, critics argue that implementation of this proposal will not have any impact on the situation since the commission has also stipulated a mandatory service period of 10 years. However, the stipulation will not have any adverse effect on the outcome of the plan. Hardly any government teacher has given up his/her job for a private one within ten years of joining.
In the conversation, which of the following roles do the boldfaced portions play?
A.The first is a claim that the argument is positioned to contradict; the second is a counter-claim that is the main conclusion of the argument
B.The first is a judgement that the argument presents as biased; the second is evidence that supports that bias
C.The first is evidence that the argument calls into question; the second provides support to that question.
D.The first presents a conclusion that the argument does not dispute; the second is a claim that the argument seeks to establish as a whole
E.The first is a claim that the argument calls into question; the second is evidence that supports that claim

Here's a tip: Find the conclusion, skim through the options and get done with this in ~30 seconds.
Maybe the easiest CR Q I've come across in this week.

Ned: The compensation provided to teachers in government schools has been so low that it fails to attract good quality teachers to join government schools. --> FACT /problem
Accordingly, the Seventh Pay Commission has proposed a raise in the pay scales. --> solution proposed
However, critics argue that implementation of this proposal will not have any impact on the situation since the commission has also stipulated a mandatory service period of 10 years.
--> claim made against the solution proposed
However, the stipulation will not have any adverse effect on the outcome of the plan. --> claim made to support the solution proposed and against the claim made in the earlier sentence
Hardly any government teacher has given up his/her job for a private one within ten years of joining. --> supports the above claim
In the conversation, which of the following roles do the boldfaced portions play?
A.The first is a claim that the argument is positioned to contradict; the second is a counter-claim that is the main conclusion of the argument --> Correct, as 1= claim and 2 = counter claim
B.The first is a judgement that the argument presents as biased; the second is evidence that supports that bias --> Irrelevant. Both wrong
C.The first is evidence that the argument calls into question; the second provides support to that question.--> one is not an evidence but a claim made by critics. Wrong
D.The first presents a conclusion that the argument does not dispute; the second is a claim that the argument seeks to establish as a whole --> argument goes against the claim made by bf1
E.The first is a claim that the argument calls into question; the second is evidence that supports that claim --> BF1 and BF2 are in opposite direction, hence wrong.
