Journalist: Every election year at this time the state government releases the financial disclosures that potential candidates must make in order to be eligible to run for office. Among those making the required financial disclosure this year is a prominent local businessman, Arnold Bergeron. There has often been talk in the past of Mr. Bergeron's running for governor, not least from Mr. Bergeron himself. This year it is likely he finally will, since those who have discounted the possibility of a Bergeron candidacy have always pointed to the necessity of making financial disclosure as the main obstacle to such a candidacy.

In the journalist's argument, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?

• A
  
  The first provides information without which the argument lacks force; the second states the main conclusion of the argument.
  
  
  
• B
  
  The first provides information without which the argument lacks force; the second states an intermediate conclusion that is used to support a further conclusion.
  
  
  
• C
  
  The first describes a practice that the journalist seeks to defend; the second cites a likely consequence of this practice.
  
  
  
• D
  
  The first states evidence bearing against the main conclusion of the argument; the second states that conclusion.
  
  
  
• E
  
  Each provides evidence in support of an intermediate conclusion that supports a further conclusion stated in the argument.
  
  
• 
  
  
  
  
  
• “The first provides information without which the argument lacks force”，这句话到底怎么翻译？ 看不懂。。。
•

The first provides information without which the argument lacks force; the second states the main conclusion of the argument.

第一句话提供了一个信息，如果没有这个信息的话，这个论证就不够强有力--》第一句话是支持论点的论据/第一句话支持结论

第二句话是论证的核心结论-》第二句话是核心结论
