Passage 26

Cuts that need to be held closed in order to heal properly have generally been held closed with stitches. However, pressure to reduce medical costs is mounting. Consequently, it is likely that a newly developed adhesive will become the routine method of holding most types of cuts closed. The new adhesive holds most types of cuts closed as well as stitches do, and the cost of applying it is comparable to that of closing cuts with stitches. But whereas stitches must generally be removed by medical personnel after the cut has healed, the adhesive simply wears off. Thus, for any cut that the adhesive can hold closed as well as stitches can, it is more economical to use the adhesive.

1. In the argument given, the two highlighted portions play which of the following roles?
A. The first is a claim that the argument disputes; the second provides evidence against that disputed claim.
B. The first is a claim that is used as supporting evidence for the main conclusion of the argument; the second is that main conclusion.
C. The first is a claim that is used as supporting evidence for the main conclusion of the argument; the second is a conclusion that is drawn in order to support that main conclusion.
D. The first introduces a practice about which the argument makes a prediction, the second is a conclusion based on that prediction.
E. The first introduces a practice about which the argument makes a prediction; the second is an assessment that is used to support that prediction.

这篇内容看懂了，但是题目不会做。
这篇是一个argument, 但是prediction是什么？我选了D, 答案是 E.
最后一句我觉得不就是个结论“adhesive可以和stitches一样效果，还经济”么。
“assessment that is used to support that prediction”什么意思呢

comparable, developed, properly, holding, medical

prediction是： Consequently, it is likely that a newly developed adhesive will become the routine method of holding most types of cuts closed.
因为缝针花费高，所以预计会出一种新的粘合的方法。
然后最后一句的thus，接着前句，都是evidence说这种新的粘合方法怎么比缝针好了，是用来解释预测的合理性的，support这个prediction的。

如果要说什么是prediction的conclusion，那么感觉应该是预测1，预测2，预测3，最后总结这三个预测的感觉。
