Summarize Argument: Counter-Position
There should not be prohibitions against pets in nursing homes. This is because pets can relieve stress and thereby improve a person’s health. Pets can also make time at a nursing home more fulfilling.
Identify Conclusion
The conclusion is that there should not be prohibitions against pets in nursing homes: “these should be lifted.”
A
As the average life span increases, it will be important to more people that life in nursing homes be rewarding.
This is context. It provides background for why it is important to take measures to make living in a nursing home more rewarding, such as by allowing pets.
B
Residents of nursing homes should enjoy the same rewarding aspects of life as anyone else.
This is not mentioned in the stimulus.
C
The policy that many nursing homes have should be changed so that residents are allowed to have pets.
This rephrases the conclusion.
D
Having a pet can reduce one’s stress and thereby make one a healthier person.
This is a premise. It supports the conclusion that prohibitions against pets in nursing homes should be lifted.
E
The benefits older people derive from having pets need to be recognized, especially as the average life span increases.
The conclusion of the argument is not that these benefits should be recognized, but that the prohibitions against pets in nursing homes should be lifted. The author provides evidence for this conclusion by outlining some of the benefits older people derive from having pets.
