Wondering if we could have a concrete approach to solve such CR where the argument conclude in a broader sense but starts with a specific evidence....

I think the answer is A...
This is defender assumption in which you eliminate that point if raised would go against the argument.

The conclusion of the argument is S handled rakes are better than new rakes for lowering risk of spinal injury. But what if there are other forms that cause injuries as a result of raking. If there are, then the conclusion would be weakened...

Hence A has to be the assumption..

Conclusion:
straight rakes (old) are better than s-shaped rakes (new) for minimizing risk of spinal injury.

Compression injury is implied as the cause of damage of spine. there could be other causes that cause spinal injury Unless other reasons are eliminated we cannot derive the conclusion
A is doing this job by stating that the compression injury is the only cause.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
