Summarize Argument
Ebsen’s recent ads were sent out to test whether they could influence popular opinion. This is supported by the premise that they were sent to too few households to actually influence popular opinion effectively. Furthermore, the campaign has been spending heavily to see whether the ads were effective.
Identify Conclusion
Ebsen’s recent ads were sent to test whether they could influence public opinion.
A
Normally, political candidates send out campaign material to influence popular opinion.
This is not the argument's main conclusion because it receives no support. This is context that introduces why campaign materials are normally sent out.
B
The recent ads for Ebsen’s campaign were sent to too few households to influence popular opinion effectively.
This is tricky, but it is not the main conclusion. It is a premise that supports the following sentence (main conclusion): The ads were sent out to test their ability to sway popular opinion. Furthermore, this receives no support and cannot be a conclusion.
C
The recent ads for Ebsen’s campaign were sent out to test their potential to influence popular opinion.
This accurately expresses the main conclusion of the argument. While campaign materials are normally sent out to influence opinion, these were sent to too few homes and were thus intended to test their potential to change public opinion.
D
The recent ads for Ebsen’s campaign covered a wide variety of topics.
This is a detail or fact in the argument, but it is not the conclusion because it does not receive any support.
E
Ebsen’s campaign has been spending heavily on follow-up surveys to gauge the ads’ effect on recipients.
This is a premise that supports the main conclusion that the ads were sent to test their potential to influence public opinion. This helps the argument because it shows that the campaign is interested to see how effective the ads were.
