Which one of the following most accurately describes the role played in the psychologist's argument by the claim that the obligation to express gratitude cannot be fulfilled anonymously?

Counterpremise
Assumption
Conclusion
Evidence

The correct answer is: Assumption

In this argument, the psychologist is discussing the obligation to express gratitude and how it cannot be fulfilled anonymously. This claim is essential for the psychologist's argument to hold because it sets the foundation for the entire reasoning. The psychologist relies on the assumption that expressing gratitude must be done non-anonymously to support their line of reasoning. Therefore, the claim that the obligation to express gratitude cannot be fulfilled anonymously serves as a crucial assumption upon which the psychologist's argument is based.
