GWD-12-33 一道Boldfaced题
Q33:

Several of a certain bank’s top executives have recently been purchasing shares in their own bank.  This activity has occasioned some surprise, since it is widely believed that the bank, carrying a large number of bad loans, is on the brink of collapse.  Since the executives are well placed to know their bank’s true condition, it might seem that their share purchases show that the danger of collapse is exaggerated.  However, the available information about the bank’s condition is from reliable and informed sources, and corporate executives do sometimes buy shares in their own company in a calculated attempt to calm worries about their company’s condition.  On balance, therefore, it is likely that the executives of the bank are following this example.



 
In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?
 

The first describes the circumstance the explanation of which is the issue that the argument addresses; the second states the main conclusion of the argument.
The first describes the circumstance the explanation of which is the issue the argument addresses; the second states a conclusion that is drawn in order to support the main conclusion of the argument.

The first provides evidence to support the position that the argument seeks to establish; the second states a conclusion that is drawn in order to support the argument’s main conclusion.  
Each provides evidence to support the position that the argument seeks to establish.

mbz

A)The first describes the circumstance the explanation of which is the issue that the argument addresses; the second states the main conclusion of the argument.

Let me try to translate in English:

The first states a fact, and why the fact happened is the main point of this argument.

gonghao

mbz is correct

A.The first describes the circumstance [the explanation of which is the issue that the argument addresses]; the second states the main conclusion of the argument.

让我用中文试试：

第一句话，描述了一个情况，关于这个情况的解释是这篇文章的论点。第二句话是文章的主要结论。
