Health policy analyst: Many hospitals hesitate to adopt remote patient-monitoring programs because it is unlikely that elderly patients will consistently use wearable devices correctly for long periods of time. Yet to argue in this way is a mistake. Remote monitoring need not rely on complicated devices or sustained patient effort: it can be effective even when it involves only simple, passive sensors that require no action from patients.
In the analyst’s argument, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
A. The first is the conclusion of an argument the analyst purports to refute; the second is a premise offered in support of the analyst’s conclusion.
B. The first is the conclusion of an argument the analyst purports to refute; the second is the analyst’s conclusion.
C. The first is a premise the analyst contends is mistakenly thought to support a given conclusion; the second is a conclusion the analyst believes that premise does support.
D. The first is a premise the analyst contends is mistakenly used to support a given conclusion; the second is a premise given to support the analyst’s contention.
E. The first is a premise the analyst contends is mistakenly thought to support a given conclusion; the second is a premise the analyst contends better supports that conclusion.

GMAT Club Official Explanation:
The analyst reports a line of reasoning used by hospitals: they hesitate to adopt remote monitoring programs because “it is unlikely that elderly patients will consistently use wearable devices correctly for long periods of time.” The analyst then argues that this reasoning is mistaken, because remote monitoring does not have to depend on complex wearables or sustained patient compliance; instead, “it can be effective even when it involves only simple, passive sensors that require no action from patients.”
Thus, the first boldface is a premise used to support the hospitals’ reluctance, and the analyst claims it is misused (it only challenges monitoring programs that require consistent wearable use). The second boldface is a premise offered to support the analyst’s criticism by showing that monitoring can work even without the condition the hospitals worry about.
(A) Incorrect. The first boldface is not a conclusion; it is a reason hospitals give for hesitating.
(B) Incorrect. The first boldface is not the conclusion of the position being refuted.
(C) Incorrect. The second boldface is not a conclusion; it is support for the analyst’s conclusion.
(D) Correct. The first is a premise the analyst says is mistakenly used to support a given conclusion (hesitation about remote monitoring); the second is a premise supporting the analyst’s contention that this reasoning is mistaken.
(E) Incorrect. The second boldface does not better support the hospitals’ conclusion; it supports the analyst’s counterargument.
