求助 BoldFace 疑惑

A double-blind study, in which neither the patient nor the primary researcher knows whether
the patient is being given the drug being tested or a placebo, is the most effective procedure for
testing the efficacy of a drug. But we will not be able to perform such a study on this new drug,
since the drug will have various effects on the patients’ bodies, which will make us aware of
whether the patients are getting the drug or a placebo.
The two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
(A) The first is a general consideration that introduces the argument; the second is a special
situation that weighs against the first.

(B) The first is a general principle that is necessary for this argument; the second is an
anti-consideration that the argument includes.
(C) The first is a premise that this argument includes; the second is a main idea that can be drawn
from this argument.
(D) The first is an evidence that this argument includes; the second is a conclusion that can not be
drawn from this argument.
(E) The first is a general situation that supports this argument; the second is a conclusion that can
be drawn from a special fact.

由于这道题全部被“黑脸”了，我才开始觉得argument可能不是题干中的某句话了，，，
求问各位大牛~~BoldFace题型中，选项中的argument到底指的是什么~~感谢~

argument大概有两种可能。

一是“we should implement double-blind studies in the testing of efficacy of all new drugs"，大概这个argument应该放在两句话之间。

所以原文的大意就是：double blind study好；那么所有药物测试都应该用；但是这个药用不了。这个结构结构下E比较对。

二是"double blind studies cannot be implemented in all testing of efficacy of new drugs“，大概这个argument应该放在最后。

所以原文的大意就是：double blind study好；但是这个药用不了；看来double blind study不能够用于所有新药测试。这个结构下A比较对。

我更倾向于第一种。因为看起来文章着重要考虑的是某一种药是否可以用double blind study，而不是给double blind study的普遍适用性下一个结论。另外，从答案A的写法看，似乎argument应该在第二句之前就已经被introduce了，所以第二种argument的位置和答案A有冲突。
