Country X’s recent stock-trading scandal should not diminish investors’ confidence in the country’s stock market. For one thing, the discovery of the scandal confirms that

Country X has a strong regulatory system, as the following considerations show. In any stock market, some fraudulent activity is inevitable. If a stock market is well regulated, any

significant stock-trading fraud in it will very likely be discovered. This deters potential perpetrators and facilitates improvement in regulatory processes.

In the argument, the portion in boldface plays which of the following roles?

A. It is the argument’s only conclusion.

B. It is a conclusion for which the argument provides support and which itself is used to support the argument’s main conclusion.

C. It is the argument’s main conclusion and is supported by another explicitly stated conclusion for which further support is provided.

D. It is an assumption for which no explicit support is provided and is used to support the argument’s only conclusion.

E. It is a compound statement containing both the argument’s main conclusion and an assumption used to support that conclusion.

Situation Country X recently had a stock-trading scandal.

Reasoning What role does the statement that the scandal’s discovery confirms that Country X has a strong regulatory system play in the argument? In the

sentence containing the boldface statement, the phrase For one thing indicates that the statement is being used to justify the claim in the preceding sentence.

Thus, the boldface statement must support that preceding sentence as a

conclusion. Directly after the boldface statement, the phrase as the following considerations show indicates that the subsequent sentences are being used to support the boldface statement. Thus, the boldface statement is a conclusion

supported by the sentences following it, and this statement itself supports the sentence preceding it, which must be the argument’s main conclusion.

A. As explained above, the boldface statement supports the claim in the preceding sentence, so it cannot be the argument’s only conclusion.

B. Correct. As explained above, the boldface statement is supported by the statements following it and in turn is used to support the argument’s main conclusion in the

statement preceding it.

C. As explained above, the boldface statement cannot be the argument’s main conclusion, because it supports a further conclusion presented in the sentence preceding it.

D. As explained above, the sentences following the boldface statement are the explicit support provided for it.

E. As explained above, the argument’s main conclusion is stated only in the first

sentence, which precedes the boldface statement. It is not repeated anywhere in the boldface statement.
