Achievers’ Administrative Officer: At Achievers’ School, students from economically underprivileged backgrounds, who study free of charge under the company’s social responsibility clause, tend to spend less time in school than the financially well-to-do, fee-paying students. This is despite the fact that on average, economically underprivileged children generally have more pressing academic needs than the fee-paying students. Critics of the school have concluded that the economically underprivileged students are not receiving proper academic attention. However, this conclusion is almost certainly baseless. Careful investigation has recently shown two things: students from financially well to do households hang around in school premises to discuss their after-school parties, and tend to stay back in the school after classes to attend such optional sports activities that have nothing to do with a student’s academic development.
In the administrative officer’s argument, the two boldface portions play which of the following roles?
A. The first states an observation that the argument as a whole disputes; the second is a fact that goes in favor of the position that the argument as a whole seeks to establish.
B. The first is an observation that disfavors the main conclusion of the argument; the second provides support for the position that the argument seeks to establish.
C. The first is the position that the argument seeks to establish; the second provides support for the conclusion of the argument.
D. The first is an observation that the argument does not question; the second is evidence used against a conclusion in the argument.
E. First and second both have been used to support the main conclusion of the argument.
