The value of gold has crashed; will it ever return to its previous high within the next year? Even at around $60, the value of gold is still up over 100 percent since it matched its last all-time high in the low $30 range just two months ago. One trend is clear, at $60 or at $250, the ecosystem of watching and trading gold continues to expand. Within the next year, without a doubt, more portfolios will include gold, more companies will be created to serve people who consider trading gold, and more people will buy gold. Clearly, it can be concluded that gold will go up.
In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
(A) The first is a prediction that, if accurate, would provide support for the main conclusion of the argument; the second is that main conclusion.
(B) The first is a prediction that, if accurate, would provide support for the main conclusion of the argument; the second is a conclusion drawn in order to support that main conclusion.
(C) The first is an objection that the argument rejects; the second is the main conclusion of the argument.
(D) The first is an objection that the argument rejects; the second presents a conclusion that could be drawn if that objection were allowed to stand.
(E) The first is a claim that has been advanced in support of a position that the argument opposes; the second is a claim advanced in support of the main conclusion of the argument.

BF1 and BF2 both are in one direction. Also, BF1 is a prediction. And, BF2 leads to BF1, considering logical reasoning. That because 'gold will go up', therefore 'more portfolios will include gold, more companies will be created to serve people who consider trading gold, and more people will buy gold'. Hence, i think choice B is correct

Option A ?
Clearly the second bold face Is a conclusion and out of A and C
A is the obvious choice
