At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

When a major record label signs a contract with a band, the label assumes considerable financial risk. It pays for videos, album art, management, and promotions. Hence, the band does not need to assume nearly as much risk as it would if it produced its own records independently. For this reason, it is only fair for a major label to take a large portion of the profits from the record sales of any band signed with it.
Which one of the following most accurately describes the role played in the argument by the claim that a band signed with a major label does not need to assume nearly as much risk as it would if it produced its own records independently?
(A) It is the only conclusion that the argument attempts to establish.
(B) It is one of two unrelated conclusions, each of which the same premises are used to support.
(C) It is a general principle from which the argument’s conclusion follows as a specific instance.
(D) It describes a phenomenon for which the rest of the argument offers an explanation.
(E) Premises are used to support it, and it is used to support the main conclusion.

AshutoshB Your main issue is that you can't find the main conclusion. If you gain this skill, bold face questions will be relatively easy for you. If you stuck between two clauses and you don't know which is the conclusion insert "because" between them. In case "A because B has happened" - A is conclusion and B is supporting fact/intermediate conclusion/prediction etc.

I think it should be E
The main conclusion is that it is fair for record companies to take large portion of profits out of records sale.
The intermediate conclusion is the one in bold.
So premise supports IC and IC supports main conclusion
