Since it has become known that several of a bank's top executives have been buying shares in their own bank, the bank's depositors, who had been worried by rumors that the bank faced impending fi nancial collapse, have been greatly relieved. They reason that, since top executives evidently have faith in the bank's fi nancial soundness, those worrisome rumors must be false. Such reasoning might well be overoptimistic, however, since corporate executives have been known to buy shares in their own company in a calculated attempt to dispel negative rumors about the company's health.
In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?
89. Since it has become known that several of a bank’s top executives have been buying shares in their own bank, the bank’s depositors, who had been worried by rumors that the bank faced impending financial collapse, have been greatly relieved. They reason that, since top executives evidently have faith in the bank’s financial soundness, those worrisome rumors must be false. Such reasoning might well be overoptimistic, however, since corporate executives have been known to buy shares in their own company in a calculated attempt to dispel negative rumors about the company’s health.
In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?
(A) The first describes evidence that has been taken as supporting a conclusion; the second gives a reason for questioning that support. (B) The first describes evidence that has been taken as supporting a conclusion; the second states a contrary conclusion that is the main conclusion of the argument. (C) The first provides evidence in support of the main conclusion of the argument; the second states that conclusion. (D) The first describes the circumstance that the argument as a whole seeks to explain; the second gives the explanation that the argument seeks to establish. (E) The first describes the circumstance that the argument as a whole seeks to explain; the second provides evidence in support of the explanation that the argument seeks to establish

想再请教下D选项中关于BF2的部分,“the second gives the explanation that the argument seeks to establish.”首先,the arguement seeks to establish的其实就是conclusion,即overoptimistic,而BF确实是对其的解释啊,为什么overoptimistic呢,是因为bankers是故意用购买公司股票的形式来打消公众的疑虑。所以我觉得D选项没有错啊?

我个人也是这个逻辑,但是我觉得会不会是段一解释的The first describes the circumstance that the argument as a whole seeks to explain. 这是一个小的结论(rumor is false)的解释,不是作者整篇文章都在讨论的conclusion(overoptimistic).
