One should never sacrifice one’s health in order to acquire money, for without health, happiness is not obtainable.
Let’s talk of the passage, which is literally a line, as a whole rather than trying to find premise and conclusion.
So, how can we reword the passage:
Earn money but not at the cost of your health because health is a mandatory ingredient of happiness.
The conclusion of the argument follows logically if which one of the following is assumed?
What should the assumption be talking of?
Assumption should link earning money with health.
So, the option talks of acquiring money only when health is not sacrificed.
An assumption on which the argument stands.
That’s not what the passage points to.
But our assumption has to link money to health and happiness.
Even if we take the above true, it just tells us that some wealthy people are unhappy. But it still does not link money to health and happiness.
But the argument states that health is a must for happiness.
Only A fits in.

Quote:
(A) Money should be acquired only if its acquisition will not make happiness unobtainable.
When is the happiness unobtainable? - When the health is being sacrificed to get moneySo, the option talks of acquiring money only when health is not sacrificed.
An assumption on which the argument stands.
Quote:
(B) In order to be happy one must have either money or health.
The option means that one can obtain happiness without health too. Only money can also get you happiness. That’s not what the passage points to.
Quote:
(C) Health should be valued only as a precondition for happiness.
We are already aware that health is necessary for happiness. But our assumption has to link money to health and happiness.
Quote:
(D) Being wealthy is, under certain conditions, conducive to unhappiness.
Being healthy is related to happiness. Even if we take the above true, it just tells us that some wealthy people are unhappy. But it still does not link money to health and happiness.
Quote:
(E) Health is more conducive to happiness than wealth is.
This means that some wealthy person, may not be healthy, can still be happy, although their % could be very less. But the argument states that health is a must for happiness.
Only A fits in.

Can someone explain this in detail?

Let us start with the conclusion - without health happiness is not obtainable. Premise is - One should never sacrifice one's health to acquire money. Posted from my mobile device
Start with option
(A) Money should be acquired only if its acquisition will not make happiness unobtainable. Right option as it links the premise also
(B) In order to be happy one must have either money or health. - This option tell you the option that being happy has two choice but in our passage it is only health that matter. So rejected
(C) Health should be valued only as a precondition for happiness.- Out of context.There is no precondion for this.
(D) Being wealthy is, under certain conditions, conducive to unhappiness.- There is no where written that being wealthy conducive to unhappiness. So rejected.
(E) Health is more conducive to happiness than wealth is.- We have to link between health and happiness not health v/s wealth. Read the conclusion and premise again.
