Especially in comparison to the structure of answer choice E which uses consistent language between the premise and conclusion.Emil-Kunkin on June 11, 2023
Hi, I think the passage was expressing the exact same idea in both of the sentences. While they do use different words, we need to focus on what they mean. The first sentence tells us that allowing more imports would have an effect. That implies that there is some current cap on how much steel is allowed to be imported at the moment. This is the same idea expressed by the conclusion, that they will not lift those restrictions.
