The spread of Avian flu from animals to humans has been welldocumented, but less understood is the mechanism by which it is spread from one bird species to another. In order to avoid a worldwide epidemic of Avian flu, scientists must make that study a first priority. To solely tackle the human dimension of this possible pandemic is to miss half of the problem: its spread from one hemisphere to another.

A Incorrect
This statement is inaccurate. The bolded phrase is not the premise of the argument. The actual premise is: "The spread of Avian flu from animals to humans has been well-documented, but less understood is the mechanism by which it is spread from one bird species to another."
B Incorrect
The bolded phrase clearly presents the author's conclusion. It does not contradict the main argument; rather, it builds on it by offering a path toward a potential solution.
C Incorrect
The reasoning here is similar to that of Option B. The bolded statement aligns with the author’s conclusion rather than opposing or undermining it.
D Correct
The bolded phrase "In order to avoid a worldwide epidemic of Avian flu, scientists must make that study a first priority" serves as the main conclusion of the argument. It presents a definitive recommendation aimed at preventing a global outbreak.
E Incorrect
The bolded phrase is not an assumption made by the author. Instead, it functions as the conclusion of the argument.

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The spread of Avian flu from animals to humans has been welldocumented, but less understood is the mechanism by which it is spread from one bird species to another. In order to avoid a worldwide epidemic of Avian flu, scientists must make that study a first priority. To solely tackle the human dimension of this possible pandemic is to miss half of the problem: its spread from one hemisphere to another.
The bolded phrase plays which of the following roles in the argument above?
(A) The bolded phrase states a premise of the argument.
(B) The bolded phrase contradicts the author’s main point.
(C) The bolded phrase makes a statement that the author is about to contradict.
(D) The bolded phrase states the author’s conclusion.
(E) The bolded phrase states an assumption the author is making.
D
Although there is no “therefore” or “hence” in front of it, the bolded phrase is the conclusion of the argument. The other phrases are premises of the argument. If you suspect a phrase may be the conclusion, it sometimes helps to imagine a “therefore” in front of it, to see if the sentence would make sense. If it does, chances are that’s your conclusion. The best answer is D.
