Consumer advocate:

it is generally true, at least in this state, that lawyers who advertise a specific service charge less for that service than lawyers who do not advertise.

It is also true that each time restrictions on the advertising of legal services have been eliminated, the number of lawyers advertising their services has increased and legal costs to consumers have declined in consequence.

However, eliminating the state requirement that legal advertisements must specify fees for specific services would almost certainly increase rather than further reduce consumer’s legal costs.

Lawyers would no longer have an incentive to lower their fees when they begin advertising and if no longer required to specify fee arrangements, many lawyers who now advertise would increase their fees.

In the consumer advocate’s argument, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

(A) The first is a generalization that the consumer advocate accepts as true; the second is presented as a consequence that follows from the truth of that generalization.

(B) The first is a pattern of cause and effect that the consumer advocate argues will be repeated in the case at issue; the second acknowledges a circumstance in which that pattern would not hold.

(C) The first is pattern of cause and effect that the consumer advocate predicts will not hold in the case at issue; the second offers a consideration in support of that prediction.

(D) The first is evidence that the consumer advocate offers in support of a certain prediction; the second is that prediction.

(E) The first acknowledges a consideration that weighs against the main position that the consumer advocate defends; the second is that position.

消费者支持者：

对某一特定法律服务作广告的律师比不作广告的律师对此项服务收较少的钱，一般来说，这是一个事实，至少在本州是这样的。

每一次有关针对法律服务作广告的限制被取消，对自己的法律服务作广告的律师的数量就会增加，结果，消费者的法律支出就会减少，这也是一个事实。

然而，除去合法广告必须指明特定服务所需费用这一要求将必然增加而不是进一步降低消费者的法律支出。

当律师们开始作广告的时候，律师将不再愿意降低各项收费标准，并且如果不再要求要详细说明费用安排，许多正在作广告的律师将提高其收费标准。

上述论述中，黑体字起了什么作用？

A第一句是被消费者支持者接受并认为正确的东西的一个概括；第二句是由这一概括得出的结论。

B第一句是一个被消费者支持者认为在本案例中会重复出现的因果关系；第二句承认了一个此因果关系不成立的情况。

C第一句是一个被消费者支持者预测在本案例中不成立的因果关系；第二句提供了一个支持此预测的需考虑的事项。

D第一句是消费者支持者为支持某预测提供的证据；第二句是那个预测。

E第一句承认了一个反对消费者支持者所持主要立场的考虑；第二句就是那个立场。
