Hi Folks, this is my understanding of the question:
Conclusion: Developing a hobby is not a successful strategy for overcoming adolescent loneliness
(Premise)because if you lose interest, loneliness may be intensidied.
Loophole: What IF even your loneliness is intensified it's still a successful strategy?
(NA will fight against this loophole) Who said if intensifying loneliness, it's not a successful strategy?
Now, what does B mean?
Conditional Reasoning:
If it's a successful strategy for overcoming adolescent loneliness, then it's not going to intensifying loneliness.
Contrapositive: If intensifying - then not a successful strategy.
Yes, this answers our loophole directly! :)
In order for the reasoning to work to support the conclusion, this is the only argument from answer choices that could answer the loophole.
The relationship is between 'successful strategy' and 'intensifying loneliness'
congrats!
