There has been a sudden spurt in the cases of suicide amongst teenagers in Tango city. On investigation, a public interest group discovered that all of these teenagers had been listening to songs by an alternative rock group, The Demons, at the time of committing suicide. When the public interest group listened to the songs by this rock group, they were aghast to hear lyrics that encouraged people to kill themselves. Accordingly, the city mayor has decided to ban the sale and download of all alternative rock band albums in Tango city with immediate effect.
Which of the following, if true, would most strongly support the position above?
(A) Songs with lyrics that encourage people to kill themselves can actually lead to people killing themselves.
(B) Alternative rock groups other than The Demons also contain lyrics that encourage people to kill themselves
(C) It is not required to impose a similar ban on movies containing large scale violence and bloodshed.
(D) If people don’t listen to songs by The Demons, they will not kill themselves.
(E) It is the responsibility of a mayor to protect the citizens of his city.

Probably B.
The other reasonable contenders would be A and D. They’re worse than B because while they do justify why The Demons should be banned, they don’t justify why the other alt rock bands should be banned. B does the latter.
I’m a huge alt rock fan, quite amusing to see a question like this.

The argument’s conclusion is:
The mayor decided to ban the sale and download of all alternative rock band albums in Tango city.
The support given:
Teenagers who committed suicide listened to The Demons.
The Demons’ lyrics encourage suicide.
To strongly support the mayor’s decision, we need a statement that strengthens the link between banning all alternative rock albums (not just The Demons) and preventing suicide.
Option analysis:
(A) Says songs with suicidal lyrics can lead to suicide — supports the idea that The Demons’ music could cause harm, but doesn’t explain why all alternative rock should be banned.
(B) Says other alternative rock groups also have such lyrics — this directly supports banning all alternative rock albums, because it’s not just The Demons.
(C) About movies — irrelevant to banning alternative rock.
(D) Only about The Demons — doesn’t support banning all alternative rock.
(E) About mayor’s responsibility — general principle, but doesn’t specifically justify the ban on all alternative rock.
Correct answer: (B) — It provides a reason to extend the ban beyond The Demons.
