This tax bill has created new jobs, because a plastics factory was opened that hired 75 new employees.

The author is saying that the tax bill has created new jobs, and citing an instance where new jobs were created. But we don’t know that these new jobs were created due to the tax bill or not. We need to know that the tax bill was the reason that the plastic factory was opened.

It isn’t necessary that this area was the only area eligible for this factory. Whether this area was their only choice or not, the argument is unaffected.

This must be true. If it isn’t, then Plastonica did not open the factory at least partially in response to the tax bill incentives, and the conclusion cannot follow from the support.

The critics are not actually part of the argument structure. It doesn’t matter what the critics claim.

It isn’t necessary that Plastonica was willing to open the factory elsewhere. Whether this area was their only choice or not, the argument is unaffected.

It is not necessary that the critics believe this . If (E) is negated, and critics believe that the tax bill has created jobs in the area, the argument is unaffected.
