Since you had problems identifying the structure, here's the break down of the argument:hey_thr67 wrote:I'll tell OA after some discussions in this thread. I had difficulty in recognising conclusion and premise. Please help.
Conclusion: As a genre, hip-hop is vastly underrated.
Counter-Premise1: Critics are right to question the violent and sometimes racist content of many hip-hop lyrics, as well as the mediocrity of some popular hip-hop.
Premise1(countering the counter-premise): The genre as a whole should not be dismissed as worthless just because portions of its sub-genres are potentially offensive or sub-par.
Premise2: The whole should never be judged by just one of its parts.
Once you know the structure, the answer is self-evident.
If you have problems identifying the conclusion, ask yourself this question:
What is the author trying to tell me?

IMO C :
1st is clearly a conclusion and 2nd one is supporting the premise that although one part is bad the whole should not be considered bad.. ( in simple language )
in option D : looks promising to me bt then realised there is no anology as such in 1st boldface ..
