Article:
Joining a trade union typically offers more job security than working independently does because of collective bargaining. Workers in a union can support each other to secure wages and benefits that they could not secure on their own. Further, since unions employ lawyers to argue on the workers’ behalf,
union workers spend far less time negotiating the terms of their employment than non-union workers do.
The two portions in boldface play which of the following roles in the article’s argument?
(A) The first is the main conclusion of the argument; the second is another conclusion that supports the first one.
(B) The first is a premise, for which no evidence is provided; the second is the only conclusion of the argument.
(C) The first is a conclusion that supports the second; the second is the main conclusion of the argument.
(D) The first is the only conclusion of the argument; the second is a premise, for which no support is provided.
(E) Both are premises, for which no support is provided, and both support the only conclusion of the argument.

Bold face 1: Mentions why joining a trade union provides more job security than being alone, the reason is collective bargaining.
Subsequent statement mentions how this Collective bargaining works.
FURTHER, which means to add on to the existing layer, since unions employ lawyers.
BF2: Mentions the time spent by workers in union to negotiate the terms of employment is less compared to non union workers.
These lawyers ensure the terms of employment are upheld, and are within the legal framework, and doesn’t infringe the rights and benefits of the workers. So, they have more job security, which is got through lawyers, who are deployed by trade unions, which works under the core crux of collective bargaining.
So, it would be good to mention “
all roads leads to Rome” . All statements are pointing to support BF1, the main conclusion.
Thus,
(A) The first is the main conclusion of the argument; the second is another conclusion that supports the first one. is the correct answer.
