How was D eliminated?

It is also strengthening the premise by stating that the tarot card readers' predictions were correct.

E is the answer as it provides additional evidence that tarot reading is based on a legitimate practice

And D just mentions but provides no evidence. Is that the reason?

"Unlike fortune tellers, tarot card readers do not claim to be able to predict the future"

This eliminates D

Thanks!!

I got it now. The premise stands wrong if D is the correct answer.

A. Fortune tellers are often among the first to predict natural disasters and manmade catastrophic events.
Explanation: Irrelevant

B. Horoscopes, which also claim to predict the future, are based around the motions of the sun and planets discovered during the golden age of the ancient Greece
Explanation: the passage does not talk about horoscopes. Hence Irrelevant

C. Many tarot readers are unable to explain how they are able to provide such accurate readings even.
Explanation: Irrelevant

D. Many major events, like the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and the housing crash of 2008, were predicted by tarot card readers.
Explanation: Irrelevant

E. Tarot readings are based on the language of symbols,whose effect on the subconscious is documented by Carl Jung, a well known psychoanalytic theorist.
Explanation: This is the only option that strengthens the statement because as per the question, tarot readers give an in depth analysis based on the present state of mind.

Hence E
