Many winemakers use cork stoppers; but cork stoppers can leak, crumble, or become moldy, so that those winemakers must often discard a significant proportion of their inventory of bottled wine. Bottlemaster plastic stoppers, which cannot leak, crumble, or mold, have long been available to winemakers, at a price slightly higher than that of traditional cork stoppers. Cork prices, however, are expected to rise dramatically in the near future. Clearly, therefore, winemakers who still use cork but wish to keep production costs from rising will be forced to reconsider plastic stoppers. And since the wine-buying public’s association of plastic stoppers with poor-quality wine is weakening, there is an excellent chance that the Bottlemaster plastic stopper will gain an increased share of the marked for wine-bottle stoppers.
In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
A.    The first is a judgment that has been advanced in support of a position that the argument opposes; the second is the main conclusion of the argument.
B.    The first is a judgment that has been advanced in support of a position that the argument opposes; the second is a conclusion drawn in order to support the main conclusion of the argument.
C.    The first is the main conclusion of the argument; the second provides evidence in support of that main conclusion.
D.    The first is the main conclusion of the argument; the second is a restatement of that main conclusion.
E.    The first is a conclusion drawn in order to support the main conclusion of the argument; the second is that main conclusion.

E is right.
The construction of this argument is that:
In the first 4 scentences, the thesis is that plastic stoppers will be favoured by the winemakers.
In the first half of the next scentences, the thseis is that plastics stoppers will not be refused by public.
In the lasr, the conclusion is that plastics stoppers will gain an increased share.
So it is clear the right answer is E.

从技巧方面来说两个都是结论，而且第一个粗体后面一句话以and开头，这是很明显的并列，由此可以推出第一个结论和他后面那一句话是论点推出主结论也就是第二个粗体的。。

答案应该是E，第一个粗体后面跟他后面那句话并列作为论点支持第二个粗体。
意思是说wine maker因为要考虑成本所以会慢慢的倾向于塑料瓶塞，同时塑料瓶塞在市场上的认同度也在渐渐提高，所以这个塑料瓶塞的制造商的市场份额将增长。。

还是搞不大懂，我现在也是在C和E之间徘徊。其实觉得这两个conclusion的联系不是很大

我覺得可能 C 或 E.
最後我會選 E.....感覺後面是 conclusion
