While venture capital can be a boon to a tiny fraction of the companies pursuing it, in the vast majority of cases, it presents the entrepreneur pursuing it with tremendous meddling and pressure from venture capitalists. The focus often shifts from building a profitable business to building a big business and selling it for a lot of money. The effect of this on fledgling ventures is loss of control of the entrepreneur which then frequently leads to bad - and sometimes fatal - business decisions being made. The craze around venture capital funding among budding entrepreneurs today is definitely overreaching.
In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
a. The first provides evidence that has been used to oppose a position at issue in the argument; the second is that position.
b. The first provides evidence that has been used to support the conclusion that the argument as a whole seeks to establish; the second is a finding that has been used to restrain from reaching an alternate conclusion.
c. The first is a judgment that supports the conclusion that the argument as a whole seeks to establish; the second is that conclusion.
d. The first is a judgment that opposes the position that the argument as a whole seeks to establish; the second is that position.
