bold faced question

by alivapriyada » Sat Sep 25, 2010 10:25 am
Sorry for posting it here...m trying to delete this thread but unable to...please help!!
Weight loss programs that guarantee results mislead their customers. No program can ensure that someone who follows it will lose weight. These programs prey upon unhappy and insecure people who are often driven more by emotion than by reason. Moreover, many people who lose weight while on a program eventually regain the weight within a year. So while the programs' claims may be true for a short period, customers will be disappointed in the long run.

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

A. The first is a generalization; the second is a consequence of that generalization.

B. The first is the author's position; the second is a consideration in support of that position.

C. The first is an opinion under examination; the second is evidence weighing against that opinion.

D. The first is an assertion that the author questions; the second is evidence in support of that assertion.
E. The first is evidence in support of the author's main point; the second is the author's main point.

[spoiler]Well I got this question correct.But wud really like to know you guys' opinions.[/spoiler]

If you are not able to delete it then let it be over here but don't loose the question.
just post the same question in CR question so we can discuss it over there and with in a day or two if no body will reply on this. then this will be a old thread people will not be seeing in the first page of SC section.

Yes it should be B. "Moreover" is an additional premise indicator, and only B has acceptable answer.
Yep.
