Op-Ed letter: Town councils are usually unable to make the right decisions when the town is privy to every vote they cast. Many citizens are unhappy when the council votes to do things like raise taxes, and many of those unhappy citizens give council-members who vote for tax hikes a difficult time outside of the town meeting. Though anonymity in voting could give council members the autonomy to vote for legislation that negatively impacts community members, not giving them anonymity makes it impossible for them to vote for legislation that the community really needs.
What roles do the two boldface portions play in the letter-writers argument?
(A) The first is a reason to favor the writers conclusion; the second presents that conclusion.
(B) The first is a pattern of cause and effect the writer thinks is false in this case; the second offer reasons in favor of her prediction.
(C) The first suggests a generalization that the writer thinks is true in this case; the second offers a consideration that weighs against her conclusion.
(D) The first offers a reason in favor of the writers conclusion; the second offers a generalization that she believes holds true in this instance.
(E) The first is a pattern of cause and effect the writer agrees with; the second is the conclusion.

choice is between C and D.
2nd statement is not a conclusion- A and E POE.
1st is cause and effect and it holds true in this case - B is POE too.
C and D - 2nd statement uses 'could give council members the autonomy to vote ' -- is a prediction/judgement rather than a generalization. hence D is eliminated.
C remain.
