Which one of the following is an assumption on which the columnist's argument depends?

  1. Assumption

  2. Resolve

  3. Conclusion

  4. Critique

The correct answer is: Assumption

The correct answer is A because an assumption is a premise that is not explicitly stated but is necessary for the argument to be valid. In this case, the columnist's argument relies on certain underlying assumptions to make sense and hold together. The other options - resolve, conclusion, and critique - do not accurately represent the type of premise that is crucial for the argument's validity.
