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

  1. Assumption

  2. Resolve

  3. Conclusion

  4. Critique

The correct answer is: Assumption

In arguments, assumptions are the unstated premises that, if false, would weaken the conclusion. In this case, Barnes's argument relies on certain assumptions for its validity. Without these assumptions, the argument would fall apart. Therefore, identifying the assumption upon which Barnes's argument depends is crucial in understanding the logic and structure of the argument. This is why option A is the correct answer.
