NGO worker: It is widely believed that the dropout rate among the under-privileged children admitted under the Food for Education program is solely because of the lack of interest in education among these children. However, it is obvious that it is also the dismally low family incomes of these children that often force their parents to put these children to work that leads to a large number of dropouts. In several villages where such dropout rates increased, the rate of employment of children in the recently set up firecracker factories in the villages shot up significantly at the same time.
In the NGO worker’s argument, the portion in boldface plays which of the following roles?
A) It is the position that the argument seeks to explain.
B) It is a claim that the argument does not seek to oppose.
C) It states the evidence that has been taken into account while drawing the conclusion.
D) It is an unsupported claim that the argument calls into question

In the NGO worker’s argument, the portion in boldface plays which of the following roles?
A) It is the position that the argument seeks to explain.
- No. The bold face suggests that people widely believe "lack of interest in education among children" to be the SOLE reason. Author suggests there are other reasons as well
B) It is a claim that the argument does not seek to oppose.
- The author is actually opposing it because they say there are other factors also in play behind the lack of interest in education among children
C) It states the evidence that has been taken into account while drawing the conclusion.
- Not applicable for the same reasons as A and B
D) It is an unsupported claim that the argument calls into question
- Correct. The author says there are other factors too in play. But point to be noted - the author doesn't really rejects the lack-of-interest hypothesis.
