Critical Reasoning

Modern high intelligence safety chips, which are found in most of cars today, are made with low-power circuitry, which is more susceptible to interference than the analog switches used in older vehicles. While on the road, the chips receive electro-magnetic signals from other cars and safety devices on the road. Recently, a few cars with low-power circuitry veered off course while on the road, the controls jammed when the cars passed by power generators or transformers that generate high frequency electro magnetic waves. Clearly, modern high intelligence safety chips are being put at risk by high frequency electromagnetic wave generators such as high intensity power generators and transformers.

The two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

A.The first is a principle that the argument relies on and the second is a conclusion that can be drawn from the first.
B.The first is a fact that argument relies on and the second is a conclusion that must be drawn from this argument.
C.The first acknowledges a consideration that supports that main position; the second is that conclusion.
D.The first is an evidence that supports the conclusion, the second is that conclusion.
E.The first is a principle that is necessary for this argument, the second is a conclusion that could be drawn from this argument.

C

Option A - INCORRECT.
The first is not just a principle but also it states the functional part of the argument and the second is a conclusion which the first relies on.


Option B - INCORRECT.
The first is the fact which the argument relies on and not just a mere assumption and the second is the conclusion to be drawn from the first.

Option C - CORRECT.
The first acknowledges the consideration that chips receive electromagnetic signals from other cars and safety devices on the road which is the main point meanwhile the second is that conclusion that modern high intelligence safety chips are being put at risk by high frequency electromagnetic wave generators.

Option D - INCORRECT.
The first is not just an evidence but rather it is the fact with which the first and the second rely on.

Option E - INCORRECT.
The first is the main reason for the existence of the main point meanwhile the second is the conclusion drawn from the functionality of the first.
