In recent years, material scientists have developed several types of building materials that are highly resistant to seismic damage. Unfortunately, these materials are still quite expensive to manufacture in large quantities. Thus, for many builders, the savings on incorporating complex anti-earthquake designs into their projects would not compensate for the higher material costs. However, since many governments continue to pass regulations mandating that all possible risk-mitigation measures be applied in construction work, the use of these building materials is still likely to become an industry standard.
In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
A. The first supplies a context applicable to the argument; the second is the main conclusion of the argument.
B. The first presents a development predicted to have a specific outcome by the argument; the second recognizes a consideration that tends to weigh against that prediction.
C. The first introduces a development predicted to have a specific outcome by the argument; the second is a state of affairs that, as per the argument, contributes to bringing about that outcome.
D. The first provides evidence in support of a prediction that the argument seeks to defend; the second is that prediction.
E. The first and the second each provide evidence to support the main conclusion of the argument.

IMO B
A. Not going in swing with the structure of the argument
B. Seems interesting, as it talks about the prediction in first BF and second goes in swing with the BF 2 as it outweigh the outcome of 1 with the cost factor.
C. BF 1 ok but BF 2 not Ok
D. No evidence as such it’s just a prediction.
E. Again no evidence.

BF 1= In recent years, material scientists have developed several types of building materials that are highly resistant to seismic damage.
BF 2 = for many builders, the savings on incorporating complex anti-earthquake designs into their projects would not compensate for the higher material costs.
A second is not main conclusion.
B perfect. first is sort of finding whereas second is saying that finding is not applicable for projects.
C no second goes in opposite direction.
D no, first is not evidence is support of prediction
E no they are not providing support to main conclusion at all.
