Premise 1: In recent years, many fashion designers have been winning acclaim as traditionalists.
Premise 2: But fashion must showcase new trends;
Conslusion: therefore, fashion designers must not waste their time on traditional designs.
Question: Which of the following is an assumption that supports drawing the conclusion above from the reason given for that conclusion?
In order to find the assumption, we need to either find the missing gap in the reasoning (supporter assumption) or eliminate the ideas or assertions that would undermine the conclusion (defender aassumption).
a. Some fashion designers only win critical acclaim, but their designs never come to market.
-----[Incorrect]: The argument is not concerned about how the market would react to the designs.
b. Some fashion designers produce works more traditional than those by others.
-----[incorrect]: No comparision among designers is being discussed.
c. Fashion designers should be more concerned with bringing latest trends into their designs.
-----[Incorrect]: this option is just a paraphrase of premise-2, and an assumption, by definition, is the unsaid/unstated premise.
d. A traditional design cannot be a new trend and cannot be called fashion.
----[Correct]: This option works as supporter assumption and fills the gap between the premise-2 and the conclusion.
----[Negation test]: step-1: create a statement logillay opposite to the statement under test
step-2: If this logically opposite statement undermines the conclusion, it is the correct option.
logical opposite: A traditional design can be a new trend and can be called fashion. This statement weaken the conclusion, making it the right choice.
e. As for-profit professionals, the fashion designers must consider the commercial aspects in deciding whether their work is to be traditional or trendy.
----[profit and commercial aspects are not at all discussed in the argument]

To support the conclusion that fashion designers should not waste their time on traditional designs because fashion must showcase new trends, the assumption needs to be something that ties traditional designs to being irrelevant in terms of new trends.
Option D states: "A traditional design cannot be a new trend and cannot be called fashion."
This assumption directly supports the conclusion because it establishes that traditional designs, by definition, cannot be considered new trends. If traditional designs cannot be trends, then focusing on them would indeed be a waste of time for fashion designers who are supposed to showcase new trends.
