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.

Despite strong employment figures in the Western economies over the past decade, business investment spending has remained stubbornly weak, as have productivity and wage growth. These trends have coincided with a period of strong corporate profits and macroeconomic conditions that, in theory, should be favourable for investment. But instead, companies have not responded to the textbook stimuli for investment, either because they don’t see the long-term economic rationale for it, or because they are in less capital-intensive industries and simply do not think that they need any more buildings and equipment. The problem, of course, is that without investment, productivity is not likely to increase, and without productivity growth, there is little reason to expect sustainable wage growth.
In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
A. The first presents an anticipated outcome; the second provides support for that outcome.
B. Both provide support for the position the argument disfavours.
C. Both provide evidence that supports the claim of the argument.
D. The first presents a coincidence that favours an expected outcome; the second presents that outcome.
E. The firsts presents a potential development that the argument ultimately refutes; the second supports that which the argument seeks to establish.

A. X as first is not an anticipated outcome, it is rather a premise/theory.
B. X as both provide support for the position that the argument favours.
C. X as both are not evidence.
D. X as the first doesn't present a coincidence that favors an expected outcome. It is rather opposite than that of expected.
E. Exactly as first presents a scenario which should have happened as per theory but did not happen (argument refutes). The second supports the the argument (contradictory situation to the theory).
