A What fraction of Dischordia's food supply comes from beef imports, and what fraction from domestic grain?( WRONG ANSWER : The answer to this question doesn’t affect the argument in any manner.)

B Does Dischordia depend more heavily on its grain supply than do most other countries?( WRONG ANSWER : Comparison with other countries is irrelevant in the context of this argument.)

C Will the Dischordian grain industry ever yield more food for Dischordians than does the Dischordian importation of beef?( WRONG ANSWER : The argument is not about any kind of future scenario)

D Has the daily consumption of grain in Dischordia grown as a result of the animal rights lobby's increased media presence and an increase in the purchase price of store-bought beef?( Right Answer : If the answer for this question is ‘yes’ then the argument gets weakened and if the answer is’no’ then the argument gets strengthened.)

E Is the number of Dischordians who have recently given up meat and become vegetarians equal to the number of Dischordian vegetarians who have recently given up vegetarianism and begun to consume meat?( WRONG ANSWER : Any kind of answer for this question has no effect upon the argument)

this is a causal argument - so we need to find an alternate cause to weaken this argument

how about - price increase of the beef forced people to eat more grain? or people switched from beef to grain because of better health awareness

or worldwide there was beef infection going on, causing the fear among the resident

Clearly, the Dischordian grain initiative is what brought about this change.
