I agree with Mcbeck above. I think it is an argument and the conclusion is implied in first statement, but the main conclusion is : "Unless a person's...". So it is an argument.
Upon review, these guys are definitely correct. I should have carefully read the stimulus smh!
It's definitely an argument. @dimakyure869 is correct. If you need to, break the stimulus down into its individual statements and check for flow of support.
I'd suggest that this is an argument.
I think, the conclusion is that 'unless a person's.... there is no necessary connection' between plucking hairs and not liking elderly people. We have to understand the context of 'no necessary connection' from the question the stimulus poses.
Why do we believe this? The premises are that it's reasonable to like the elderly and not want to lose eyesight. Holding negative attitudes toward old people because they are old is immoral. There is nothing immoral about disliking the process of getting old.
Answer A takes 'there is no necessary connection' and expands it out explain what that means. The connection between not liking hairs and not liking elderly people cannot be assumed.
