I am confused with option A. If we say no that the new regulations will NOT have an adverse effect on members of labor unions, the conclusion may still be held. Perhaps the new regulations will have a neutral effect on the labor unions. We don't know how the present government will take this into the account. We know that they will not endorse any negative effect but neutral effect? We cannot say anything for sure. Based on this reasoning, can someone please help me out on this and tell me where I am going wrong in my thinking? Would greatly appreciate it!

Hey csaluja, all of your thoughts are right, but this still doesn't make A less correct.
If the question were something like "which of the following ensures that the argument is wrong?", then the questions you raise would be right on target - answering A may still fail to ensure such a conclusion.
but the question we are asked is a lot "softer": which of the following is the most useful to know? A wins this contest easily... the main thing we want to know is whether the affect is positive or negative.
