Psychiatrist: We are learning that neurochemical imbalances can cause behavior ranging from extreme mental illness to less serious but irritating behavior such as obsessive fantasizing, petulance, or embarrassment. These findings will promote compassion and tolerance when looking at a mental illness, quirk, or mere difference between two persons, since being mentally healthy can now begin to be seen as simply having the same neurochemical balances as most people.
Which one of the following most accurately expresses the conclusion of the psychiatrist’s argument?
(A) Understanding the role of the neurochemical in behavior will foster empathy toward others.
(B) Neurochemical imbalances can cause mental illness and other behaviors.
(C) Neurochemical balances and imbalances are the main determinants of mental behavior.
(D) Being mentally healthy is a matter of having the same neurochemical balances as most people.
(E) Advances in neurochemistry enhance our theories of mental illness.

This argument can be logically broken down into:
Premise: Neurochemical imbalances can cause a range of behaviour
Premise: Being mentally healthy can now begin to be seen as simply having the same balances as most people
---
Conclusion: These findings will promote compassion and tolerance
So let's look at the answers:
a) This is very similar to the conclusion we found above
b) This is a premise, not the conclusion
c) This is not the conclusion of the argument. In fact, it is not even supported by it (where does it mention "main determinants?"
d) The argument says it can be seen as having the same balances as most people. Not that it is. Furthermore this is a premise, not a conclusion.
e) This can be inferred from the argument, but is certainly not the conclusion of it.
a) is the answer
