Deciphering answer meanings

What is the difference between answer choice B and D?

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.


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

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

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

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

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

I cannot see what sentences are bolded, but I can explain the difference between answer choices B and D. They both obviously start the same, but B then goes on to say that the second statement directly attacks the first premise and invalidates it, or shows why it is wrong. Answer choice D, on the other hand, does not directly attack/invalidate the initial premise, but rather brings in a different argument against it. So B is attacking the premise and saying that its reasoning is flawed, where as D is bringing in an outside argument that contradicts the initial argument, but is not necessarily saying that the reasoning is flawed.

I hope that helps!
