There is not one good reason for granting men paternity leave from work, while there are several good reasons to deny it. For one, it would be an additional expense to businesses. Businesses are already facing tough times all over the world, so adding additional overhead is not an option. If the father acts like a father, he and the child will bond. If the father doesn’t act like a father, he and the child will not bond, regardless of whether he is at home or at work.

(E) The first is the primary conclusion of the argument and the second provides reasoning supporting the primary conclusion.

The first ("There is not one good reason for granting men paternity leave...") is the primary conclusion of the argument, stating the main claim that men should not be granted paternity leave.
The second ("If the father doesn’t act like a father...") provides reasoning supporting the primary conclusion, arguing that whether a father bonds with the child depends on his behavior, not on having paternity leave.
Thus, (E) is correct: The first is the primary conclusion and the second provides reasoning supporting it.

The correct option is: (E)
The first is the main conclusion, and the second provides reasoning that supports it.
The first statement (“There is not one good reason for granting men paternity leave...”) presents the main conclusion of the argument — that men should not be granted paternity leave.
The second statement (“If the father doesn’t act like a father...”) offers supporting reasoning for this conclusion, suggesting that a father’s bonding with his child depends on his actions rather than on the provision of paternity leave.
