Difficult Bold Answer question

[rnprasanna]

Since it has been know that "top executives have been buying shares in their own bank", the bank depositors are now relieved that bank is financially safe as the executives themselves have belief in it.

The para goes on to say that this may not always be true and says that the "executives may do it to dispel rumors about the health of the bank"

I am confused between 2 options:

1. The first describes evidence that has been taken as a supporting conclusion; the second gives a reason for questioning the support.

2. The first describes a circumstance that the argument as a whole seeks to explain; the second gives the explanation that the argument seeks to establish.

Correct ans:1

Do you need the full para. I will provide it

And is it possible to get my doubts answered within 1 day as i have just 10 days left for my GRE :(

Thank you

 

I just want to know the difference between circumstance vs evidence and reason vs explanation. Can they used interchangeably?
