It is frequently claimed that caffeine is an addictive substance. Its users often show withdrawal symptoms such as headaches and irritability for several days after ceasing caffeine consumption. However, caffeine is not an addictive substance. Those who exhibit caffeine-consuming behavior that seems to evidence an addiction are overwhelmingly those who also have histories of drug or alcohol abuse, and the consumption of caffeine cannot be said to pose any harm to society, unlike the use of alcohol or drugs.
Which of the following is an assumption the author makes?
A For a substance to be addictive, its users must pose a harm to society.
B If one suffers withdrawal symptoms upon ceasing the use of a substance, then one can be said to be addicted to that substance.
C Addictive behavior has the same origin regardless of the substance to which one is addicted.
D The use of caffeine has not resulted in a detriment to society.
E Headaches and irritability upon withdrawal are not necessary components of an addiction to a substance.

Something that I am learning right now...
Anything that is mentioned in Conclusion and Facts usually will not be there in assumption.
Anything which is mentioned in the Conclusion but not present in Facts/Premise should be mentioned in the assumption
Conclusion of the above argument: Caffeine is not addictive substance
Why: People who exhibit symptoms of addiction are Overwhelmingly those who have histories of drug abuse or Alcohol and that consumption of caffeine does not pose any harm to society unlike drugs or alcohol..
So the why basically answers other reason which is responsible for symptoms and other un-connected part of harm to society...
Only A and D does but if A is negated argument falls.
