    1. Which of the following best expresses the main conclusion of the above argument?
    • 0
    0

    Explanation

    The correct answer is C.

This leaves us with options A and C. While both options are valid conclusions, statement A acts to support option C when using the therefore test. Leading us to the correct answer of C.
