Shy adolescents often devote themselves totally to a hobby to help distract them from the loneliness brought on by their shyness. Sometimes they are able to become friends with others who share their hobby. But if they lose interest in that hobby, their loneliness may be exacerbated. So developing an all-consuming hobby is not a successful strategy for overcoming adolescent loneliness.

Which one of the following assumptions does the argument depend on?

(A) Eventually, shy adolescents are going to want a wider circle of friends than is provided by their hobby.

(B) No successful strategy for overcoming adolescent loneliness ever intensifies that loneliness.

(C) Shy adolescents will lose interest in their hobbies if they do not make friends through their engagement in those hobbies.

(D) Some other strategy for overcoming adolescent loneliness is generally more successful than is developing an all-consuming hobby.（B）

(E) Shy adolescents devote themselves to hobbies mainly because they want to make friends.

实在想不明白这个关系

原文说Shy人通过发展hobby可以降低loneliness，但是一旦interest of hobby降低，loneliness又会升高

结论是all-consuming hobby对这类人无用(是否隐含说：因为总会有hobby 的interest 降低，所以不管如何loneliness都会升高)

我怎么看怎么都觉得B反了。哪位NN指点一下

The conclusion is not all-consuming hobby对这类人无用,  but all-consuming hobby is not a successful strategy.
Since a successful strategy is new concept, you really want to look for answer containing it.

salitis

Premise: a-c hobby will sometimes intensify the loneliness
conclusion: A-C hobby is not a successful strategy.

Assumption will be, anything whichwill somehow intensify the loneliness is not a successful strategy. You can put it to B.

salitis

Is that clear?
