Which one of the following, if assumed, would allow the conclusion to be properly drawn?

  1. Option A

  2. Option B

  3. Option C

  4. Option D

The correct answer is: Option D

In this question, the task is to identify the assumption that would properly support the conclusion drawn in the argument. The correct answer is D because assumptions often bridge gaps between the evidence presented and the conclusion reached. By assuming option D, which is relevant to the conclusion, we can fill in any missing information necessary to make the conclusion logically follow from the premises provided in the argument. This assumption strengthens the argument and helps in drawing a valid conclusion based on the information given. Options A, B, and C may not directly address the logical connection between the premises and the conclusion or provide the necessary support to make the conclusion properly drawn. Only option D directly supports the reasoning behind the conclusion.
