Explanation:
As it can be seen from the argument, first boldface part is a premise and second boldface part is a conclusion. Point to ponder: Is the conclusion derived from the evidence? Answer is “no”. Here necessary condition is treated as sufficient condition.
A) It is true that the first boldface part is a piece of evidence. However, the conclusion cannot be established solely based on the piece of evidence provided here. Wrong.
B) Correct. This option correctly states that the first boldface is a piece of evidence and the second boldface part, the conclusion of the argument, is not necessarily true based on the evidence provided.
C) First boldface part is a premise and not a conclusion. Second boldface part is the conclusion and not a piece of evidence. Wrong.
D) First boldface part is a premise and not a conclusion. Second boldface part is the conclusion and not a piece of evidence. Wrong.
E) First boldface part is a premise and not a conclusion. Second boldface part is the conclusion itself. Wrong.
Correct Answer is B.
