In the previous year, a leading car manufacturer filed a record number of new patents. Industry stalwarts are wondering if this year will bring another record. Well, a new patent is filed either for improvements in the existing car models or for the new car models that are being designed. In the case of current car models, new patents have been filed this year at well below the previous year’s record. Further, there is also a significant indication that the number of new models designed by the car manufacturer will be no greater this year than it was the previous year, and there is no indication that the new models being designed this year will require more patents per model than did previous year’s new models. Clearly, the number of new patents filed this year will not exceed last year’s record.
In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
A. The first is presented as an obvious truth that the argument is based on; the second is a conclusion drawn to support the argument’s main conclusion.
B. The first is presented as an obvious truth that the argument is based on; the second is the argument’s main conclusion.
C. The first and the second each provide evidence that supports the argument’s main conclusion.
D. The first is a generalization that the argument seeks to establish; the second is the argument’s main conclusion.
E. The first is a generalization that the argument seeks to establish; the second is a conclusion the argument draws to challenge that generalization.

Option B clearly portrays the intended boldfaced in this case.
The only other relatively close one could be option D but the first part is not really a generalization, it is stated as a truth specific to the company rather than something vague that could change.

Option B
- Boldface 1 = Obvious truth / general principle (not argued for, just stated as fact)
- Boldface 2 = Main conclusion (the final claim the whole argument builds toward)
