The shoe company Steps wants to collaborate with the fashion brand Suave. However, the latter wants to promote its own line of shoes. Therefore, although a collaboration could be very profitable, Suave is not likely to accept Steps's proposal.

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

(A) The first is the argument's conclusion, and the second is a piece of evidence supporting this conclusion.
(B) The first is a conclusion made by Suave, and the second is the entire argument's conclusion.
(C) The first is a conclusion made by Steps, and the second is the entire argument's conclusion.
(D) The first is a piece of evidence, and the second is a conclusion that is based on this evidence.
(E) The first is a piece of evidence, and the second is a conclusion that seems to contradict this evidence.

OA D

Situation: Steps wants to collaborate with Suave but Suave is skeptical that such collaboration might hurt its business. Here, first boldfaced line is the evidence that supports the conclusion and the second boldfaced line is the conclusion that 'Suave is not likely to accept Steps' proposal'.

(A) The first is the argument's conclusion, and the second is a piece of evidence supporting this conclusion. First is not a conclusion rather it is an evidence
(B) The first is a conclusion made by Suave, and the second is the entire argument's conclusion. First is not a conclusion rather it is an evidence
(C) The first is a conclusion made by Steps, and the second is the entire argument's conclusion. First is not a conclusion rather it is an evidence
(D) The first is a piece of evidence, and the second is a conclusion that is based on this evidence. Correct
(E) The first is a piece of evidence, and the second is a conclusion that seems to contradict this evidence. Second is not contradicting the evidence rather it is supported by the evidence

Hence, Correct Answer is D
