The plan to build a new merchant quarter in the city of Istanbul will surely contribute towards reestablishing the city as the central trading hub it used to be in the past. Though a certain part of the ancient wall will have to be removed as part of the project, the project will, if it meets the analysts' predictions, raise the GNP (Gross National Product) by over 10% over the first four years following its completion. The past cannot be allowed to hold back the future.

In the argument, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

A. The first is a prediction; the second is evidence in support of that prediction

B. The first acknowledges a consideration that weighs against the main position that the argument advocates; the second is that position

C. The first is evidence against the position of the speaker; the second is evidence in support of it

D. The first is an inference that weighs against the main position that the argument advocates; the second is that position

E. The first is evidence against the position of the speaker; the second is a prediction in support of it

The OA is B
