As a large corporation in a small country, Hachnut wants its managers to have international experience, so each year it sponsors management education abroad for its management trainees. Hachnut has found, however, that the attrition rate from this program is becoming increasingly high, with many especially promising participants leaving Hachnut to join competing firms even before completing the program. Hachnut does use performance during the program as a criterion in deciding among candidates for management positions, but it finds itself more and more in the position of selecting from a critically depleted pool of candidates. The program is thus beginning to work against Hachnut’s interest. Therefore, if the attrition problem cannot be successfully addressed, Hachnut should discontinue the sponsorship program.
In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?
A. The first states evidence that has been used to support a position that the argument opposes; the second states a judgment that is used to support the main conclusion of the argument.
B. The first identifies a drawback to the policy that the argument seeks to evaluate; the second presents a claim, the accuracy of which is evaluated in the argument.
C. The first identifies a drawback to the policy that the argument seeks to evaluate; the second states evidence that has been used to support a position that the argument opposes.
D. The first provides evidence to support the main conclusion of the argument; the second presents a claim, the accuracy of which is evaluated in the argument.
E. The first and the second each provide support for the main conclusion of the argument.

Understanding the argument:
- basically H wants managers to get international experience; currently they send them abroad
- the program results in 2 things for candidates: (1) international experience, (2) allows candidates who to be evaluated for management positions
- for H: they notice that the attrition increases (ppl go to competing firms)
- H should discontinue the program because it's decreasing its own talent pool bc of this program
Sequencing the sentences:
As a large corporation in a small country, Hachnut wants its managers to have international experience, so each year it sponsors management education abroad for its management trainees - Background information; this is laying out the scenario for us
Hachnut has found, however, that the attrition rate from this program is becoming increasingly high, with many especially promising participants leaving Hachnut to join competing firms even before completing the program. - Premise- finding that explains what's going on and the implication of the first sentence
Hachnut does use performance during the program as a criterion in deciding among candidates for management positions, but it finds itself more and more in the position of selecting from a critically depleted pool of candidates - First part is a finding, and the second part is an implication from the finding
The program is thus beginning to work against Hachnut’s interest - somewhat of an intermediary conclusion resulting in the final conclusion
Therefore, if the attrition problem cannot be successfully addressed, Hachnut should discontinue the sponsorship program - explains the 'call to action' ie main conclusion and the reasoning behind it ie the premise
A. The first states evidence that has been used to support a position that the argument opposes; the second states a judgment that is used to support the main conclusion of the argument. -- it's a finding but it's used to support a position that the argument endorses, not opposes --> therefore, wrong. Second part is correct, yes it's a judgement / implication used to support the main conclusion
B. The first identifies a drawback to the policy that the argument seeks to evaluate; the second presents a claim, the accuracy of which is evaluated in the argument. --> no accuracy is being evaluated
C. The first identifies a drawback to the policy that the argument seeks to evaluate; the second states evidence that has been used to support a position that the argument opposes. --> first is a drawback, the second is used to support a position that argument endorses
D. The first provides evidence to support the main conclusion of the argument; the second presents a claim, the accuracy of which is evaluated in the argument. -> again, no accuracy is being evaluated
E. The first and the second each provide support for the main conclusion of the argument. -> yes both support
