Belasur, Moldania and Ricetor are the biggest drinkers in the world, quaffing between 15 to 18 litres per adult annually, according to the World Medical Organisation in a new report. But those figures only tell part of the story. Not everyone drinks. When abstainers are excluded the national averages look extremely different.
What is the role played by the two bold face statements in the above passage?
A. Bold face 1 is the author’s opinion; Bold face 2 is a fact which contradicts that opinion.
B. Bold face 1 is a fact which supports the main conclusion of the argument; Bold face 2 is that conclusion.
C. Bold face 1 is an implication of a finding; Bold face 2 is another implication of the same finding.
D. Bold face 1 is an implication of a finding; Bold face 2 is an observation which supports the main conclusion of the argument.
E. Bold face 1 is a fact which opposes the main conclusion of the argument; Bold face 2 is another fact which supports it.

D seems good here : Bold face 1 is an implication of a finding; Bold face 2 is an observation which supports the main conclusion of the argument.
just as an aside : hoping that u have created "Moldania" as some fictional name referring to some country then it is linguistically wrong to say that "Belasur, Moldania and Ricetor are the biggest drinkers in the world, quaffing between 15 to 18 litres per adult annually .

I'm responding to a PM on this thread. This does get tricky between D & E, especially since there isn't a strong conclusion in the argument. My understanding from the argument is that B, M, & R have big drinkers, but the numbers include those who don't drink, so the average amounts of drinking for drinkers is actually even higher than the original findings (conclusion at the end). [Both the status as big drinkers and the info that not everyone drinks support the conclusion]
A - BF 1 not an opinion; BF 2 is not contradictory
B - BF 1 is a fact but it doesn't really support the main conclusion; BF 2 is not a conclusion
C - BF 1 is an implication of a finding (the amount of per capita drinking); BF 2 is not another implication of the original finding
D - BF 1 is an implication of a finding (the amount of per capita drinking); BF 2 is an observation in support of the conclusion - CORRECT
E - BF1 does not oppose the main conclusion, BF 2 is another fact that in part supports the conclusion
