@sasmitoja there are two requirements for a Main Point question: (1) it must be true and (2) it must be the main point of the argument.
The problem with (A) is that, while it satisfies the first requirement, it is not the main point of the Engineer's argument.
The main point of this argument is that mining the Moon for helium-3 is not a possible solution to the world's energy problems.
Hope that helps! Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Which sentence in the prompt would be considered the conclusion?

Hi @Brandon-Enquist, thanks for your post, and great question. The part of the stimulus that summarizes the engineer's conclusion is "But this is nonsense." In context, we understand that, specifically, the engineer believes that mining the Moon for helium-3 is not a viable solution to the world's energy problems.
Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

Why E is wrong can you provide more information

But wouldn't A be the correct answer since it says "not currently feasible?" Because the author is saying that it is not a solution right now but might be in 50 years?
