Contrary to recent speculations, no hardware store will be opening in the shopping plaza. If somebody were going to open a store there, they would already have started publicizing it. But there has been no such publicity.

Summarize Argument: Counter-Position
The author disputes a position others hold and explains why it is wrong. Despite what others claim, no hardware store is opening in the shopping plaza. If there was such a store opening, there would have been publicity. There has been no publicity (so the condition for a hardware store opening was not met).

Identify Conclusion
The conclusion is a claim about what will occur: “no hardware store will be opening in the shopping plaza.”

A
Some people have surmised that a hardware store will be opening in the shopping plaza.
This is context that sets up a position the author argues against.
B
A hardware store will not be opening in the shopping plaza.
This directly rephrases the author’s main claim about what will occur at the shopping plaza.
C
If somebody were going to open a hardware store in the shopping plaza, that person would already have started publicizing it.
This is support for why no hardware store will be opening.
D
It would be unwise to open a hardware store in the shopping plaza.
No information about what is wise is contained in the stimulus.
E
There has been no publicity concerning the opening of a hardware store in the shopping plaza.
This is additional support for why no hardware store will be opening.
