请教各位大神，这是狒狒逻辑TEST 1 第8题：
8.

(B) It helps to support the conclusion of theargument. (C) It is a claim that must be refuted if theconclusion is to be established. (D) It is a consequence of the argument. (E) It is used to illustrate the generalprinciple that the argument presupposes.
解释如下：
这是一个典型的必要题型，题目之所以觉得有难度， 因为conclusion 在首而论证过程在后，而且还有概念的等价交换：to increase thehappiness of its citizens ＝＝to augment the satisfaction of the citizenry Conclusion: The stable functioning of a society depends upon therelatively long-term stability of the goals of its citizens. it should be obvious that a society is stable only if its laws tend toincrease the happiness of its citizens.
