ldeath

In countries whereautomobile insurance includes compensation for whiplash injuries sustained inautomobile accidents, reports of having suffered such injuries are twice asfrequent as they are in countries where whiplash is not covered.  Some commentators have argued, correctly,that since there is presently no objective test for whiplash, spurious reportsof whiplash injuries cannot be readily identified.  These commentators are, however, wrong todraw the further conclusion that in the countries with the higher rates ofreported whiplash injuries, half of the reported cases are spurious:  clearly, incountries where automobile insurance does not include compensation forwhiplash, people often have little incentive to report whiplash injuries thatthey actually have suffered.

Inthe argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the followingroles?

A.The first is evidence that has been used to support a conclusion that theargument criticizes; the second is that conclusion.

B.The first is evidence that has been used to support a conclusion that theargument criticizes; the second is the position that the argument defends.

C.The first is a claim that has been used to support a conclusion that theargument accepts; the second is the position that the argument defends.

D.The first is an intermediate conclusion that has been used to support aconclusion that the argument defends; the second is the position that theargument opposes.

E.The first presents a claim that is disputed in the argument; the second is aconclusion that has been drawn on the basis of that claim.

这道和OG13 78看起来一样，但是为什么会选A
OG里解释说， The second is not the argument's conclusion. 所以我第一个排除了A

对啊这道题好奇怪啊。 prep2008笔记里面说是选B或C。。。到底选什么！
xdf的课程里面说clearly后面的就是结论 所以在A。E中选择。
然后根据第一句是一个证据我认为应该选A
