8. The stable functioning of a society depends upon the relatively long-term stability of the goals of its citizens. This is clear from the fact that unless the majority of individuals have a predictable and enduring set of aspirations, it will be impossible for a legislature to craft laws that will augment the satisfaction of the citizenry, and it should be obvious that a society is stable only if its laws tend to increase the happiness of its citizens.
The claim that a society is stable only if its laws tend to increase the happiness of its citizens plays which one of the following roles in the argument?
(A) It is the conclusion of the argument.
(B) It helps to support the conclusion of the argument.
(C) It is a claim that must be refuted if the conclusion is to be established.
(D) It is a consequence of the argument.
(E) It is used to illustrate the general principle that the argument presupposes.
(B)
这里的Argument是谁? Conclu又是谁? 总是分不清Argument 哪个是Conclu

Last year a record number of new manufacturing jobs were created. Will this year bring another record? Well, a
new manufacturing job is created either within an existing company or by the start-up of a new company. Within
existing fi rms, new jobs have been created this year at well below last year’s record pace. At the same time,
there is considerable evidence that the number of new companies starting up will be no higher this year than it
was last year, and surely the new companies starting up this year will create no more jobs per company
than did last year’s start-ups. Clearly, it can be concluded that the number of new jobs created this year
will fall short of last year’s record.
In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
(A) The fi rst is a prediction that, if accurate, would provide support for the main conclusion of the argument;
the second is that main conclusion.
(B) The fi rst is a prediction that, if accurate, would provide support for the main conclusion of the argument;
the second is a conclusion drawn in order to support that main conclusion.
(C) The fi rst is an objection that the argument rejects; the second is the main conclusion of the argument.
(D) The fi rst is an objection that the argument rejects; the second presents a conclusion that could be drawn
if that objection were allowed to stand.
(E) The fi rst is a claim that has been advanced in support of a position that the argument opposes; the second
is a claim advanced in support of the main conclusion of the argument.
