BoldFace

For a contest at the upcoming county fair, Marie advocates for a ring toss because the ring toss is consistently the favorite activity of the children who attend the fair. Anne, however, points out that adults win most of the prizes when playing ring toss. To make the chances of winning fair for everyone, Anne proposes a raffle. Marie rebuts that those who can afford to spend more on raffle tickets will have better chances of winning. The two agree to hold a raffle in which each person can buy only one ticket.

The two boldface portions in the argument above are best described by which of the following statements?

The first is an example of one activity; the second is an argument in favor of choosing that activity.

The first is an argument promoting one activity; the second invalidates the reason for promoting the other activity.

The first is the conclusion of one of the participants; the second is an argument that supports that conclusion.

The first is an argument promoting one activity; the second is an argument against promoting that activity.

The first is the conclusion of one of the participants; the second invalidates the other participant's reasoning.

OA B
First boldface is NEITHER a conclusion NOR an example. So directly eliminate A, C, E.

In D, first sentence is fine but second states that it is an argument against promoting that activity. No where, Anne is against promoting ring toss (It is never mentioned in the second bold face). Anne only reasons why raffle is better than ring toss in second bold face. So, the answer should be B.

Hope my reasoning is correct..!

B

one of the easy boldfaces i have attempted...

Marie --> is proposing ONE action

Marie--> is shooting down the other argument (put forth by anne)
