Insurance plans that provide 100% employer-based coverage including free coverage for day to day illnesses such as headaches, common cold, and fever report four times as many visits for such illnesses as do plans that require a small co-payment. At the same time, the number of sick days taken by employees in either plan is about the same. Since plans that provide 100% employer-based coverage cost 50% more, US corporations can save money by switching to co-payment-based plans.
In the above argument, the two bold face portions play which of the following roles?
A. The first and the second are data points that are used to draw the conclusion of the passage.
B. The first is a claim that is used to support the conclusion that the argument accepts; the second is that conclusion.
C. The first is a contradiction to a known statistic; the second further accentuates that contradiction.
D. The first is a finding whose implications are at issue in the argument; the second is a claim presented in order to argue against deriving certain implications from that finding.
E. The first is a finding that is evaluated in the argument; the second is evidence presented to establish whether the finding is accurate.
