Complete Question Explanation

Main Point. The correct answer choice is (C)

The psychologist in this stimulus discusses the fact that some elderly may be discouraged from trying psychotherapy. They shouldn’t, asserts the author, because many factors would contribute to particular success of psychotherapy on elderly patients. The main argument, or conclusion, of this stimulus is presented at the beginning of the second sentence: they shouldn’t; that is, the elderly shouldn’t be discouraged from trying psychotherapy. This conclusion is based on the premise that there are many attributes of the elderly that would be particularly conducive to successful psychotherapy.

Correct answer choice (C) presents the main point as prephrased above: that the elderly should not be discouraged from trying psychotherapy.
