@soleluna883 In this example they say the same number of people die from iatrogenic disease.
ID can cause death
but death can also happen without ID.
Their argument is if prevented the number of deaths per year would decrease by half. Their conclusion is no longer considering only the deaths of ID they are applying it to all deaths in general. Maybe had they said "The number of ID deaths would decrease" but ID is not the only cause of deaths so they are failing to consider that even if you prevent ID, the amount of deaths caused by ID may decrease but doesn't mean the number of deaths as a whole will decrease.
@CMas I can try to offer some insight. For the opening of the passage saving money is a factual statement in this passage. They are saying and agree yes this would be the outcome if this were to happen but only in reference to the mandatory practice. The preferred practice is the voluntary one which is current, but the alternative is the mandatory practice. So this is support for the alternative (non voluntary) practice.
I was between A and B but eliminated B because of the "Only if" because then the only if would limit what is stated in the passage.
It took me several minutes to answer this one, I got it right but I had to write through it.
@PatrickBonna One of the tricks that was mentioned in one of the earlier videos, pointed out to identify the conclusion by understanding what the author is trying to convince you of. Example if I said "In the summer it tends to be very hot when the son is out because the sun is out, it must be very hot today. The premise is the basis for an argument. My argument is and what i'm concluding is that it's hot today and my support i am using is in the summer it tends to be very hot. If I add another premise to support this, my argument will still be that it must be very hot today. I hope this helps a little!
I didn't see E at first and was sitting there like none of these many any sense to the passage LOL then noticed E like there we go
