There cannot be discussion of a poem’s aesthetic value unless multiple readers agree on the poem’s correct reading. Therefore, we can only have objective evaluation of poetry if readers do not determine a poem’s meaning.

The argument’s support is focused on the conditions necessary for discussion of a poem’s aesthetic value, but the conclusion is about the conditions necessary for the objective evaluation of poetry. There is a missing gap between the two - there is, therefore, a missing assumption that discussion of a poem’s aesthetic value is necessary for objective evaluation of poetry.

This doesn’t do anything to help the argument get to its conclusion. It doesn’t provide any information about a poem’s objective value, and the possibility of two people judging whether a poem has aesthetic value isn’t relevant.

This is too strong. The argument only needs to demonstrate that agreeing about meaning allows for the possibility of objective evaluation, not that it guarantees objective evaluation.

This is too strong. The argument is focused specifically on the discussion of a poem’s aesthetic value, not on the conditions required for any general discussion of a poem to be possible.

This fills the gap in the argument, and explains the connection between the premises and conclusion. If it were negated, and a poem could be objectively evaluated even without having its aesthetic value discussed, the premises do not provide any support for the conclusion.

The argument doesn’t need to make any complains about the best way of evaluating literature - it is focused only on specifically whether poems can be objectively evaluated.
