Over time, phrases in the English language that were once widespread, such as “the cat’s pajamas,” fall out of general use and cease to be taught in English classes. Government agencies set the standards for educational curricula in many subjects, including English, to which schools must adhere. Since English teachers teach only those topics mandated by government curriculum standards, and students generally learn only those uses of language taught by English teachers, the use and understanding of older phrases could be lost. Therefore, the government educational agencies should require the inclusion in educational curriculum of once-popular usages of the English language that are no longer in widespread use.
Which of the following roles is performed by the bolded phrase in the argument above?
(A) It summarizes the position advocated by the author of the argument.
(B) It states a premise supporting the conclusion, but which itself is unsupported.
(C) It presents a subsidiary conclusion that supports the position of the author.
(D) It provides support for a conclusion stated earlier in the argument.
(E) It provides a specific example of the general position used to support the conclusion.

why was E not the correct option ? is this because of the fact that the boldfaced sentence in itself was not a specific example ? and what do you mean by subsidiary conclusion ? is it equivalent to immediate conclusion ?

(D) It provides support for a conclusion stated earlier in the argument.
(E) It provides a specific example of the general position used to support the conclusion.
1. The author states that could be lost, which is opinion or can be a conclusion, but not a fact(premise) for sure.
2. In the whole, passage no contradiction is given.
3. The very next statement is Conclusion, which is being supported by the Bold Face Statement.
Thus, we can conclude that BF is Intermediate conclusion or Support for the main conclusion. No need to read the passage deeply, now let's go the options.
A. Summarizes the position - Incorrect: It means BF is the main conclusion of the passage.
B. States a Premise - Incorrect: It is not a premise at all
C. It presents a subsidiary conclusion that supports the position of the author. - Correct: As discussed above
D. stated earlier - Incorrect: Not supporting earlier arguments. Also, we don't have any specific earlier argument.
E. specific example - Incorrect: It's an opinion and not an example. To awkward to be true.
