A) The first is a prediction about a recommendation the main argument opposes; the second is a conclusion drawn in order to support the main conclusion.
Explanation:
From the argument above by the two senators, it could be seen that the two Senators are argueing in favour and argainst the Tax. Senator Baker, was of the believe that his opponent, Senator Rothmore calling for increase in taxes to fund programs helps the long-term unemployed.
His argument was based soley on the unemployed without factoring in the small businesses that would be killed off as a result of the tax increment. The fall of small businesses would definitely affect the prediction he made about unemployed getting work. This is because, those unemployed can only work by the opportunities created by the small businesses.
Senator Baker only made the second conclusion inorder to support his argument on the need to lower taxes which would drive job creations thereby being a win-win situation for both the government and the citizens.

Portugal established trading activities in China in 1513 when Jorge Alvares arrived.
In 1517 the King sent a mission and created a trade center at Nei Lingding.
Portugal and Ming Dynasty relationship gradually expanded but was deteriorated when Simão de Andrade arrived at Guangzhou in 1519. He violated their customs and laws, so Chinese people reacted by killing several Portuguese in the streets.
In 1521 the Emperor Zhengde died and the Ming Court lost interest in having relations with foreign countries.
There were two battles:
In 1521, every Portuguese vessel was confiscated and Chinese defeated a Portuguese fleet at The First Battle of Tamao
In 1522, Martim Alfonso de Merlo Coutinho was sent to establish diplomatic relations but the Chinese defeated them at The Second Battle of Tamao.
The Chinese resisted any Portuguese attempt to return. But in 1535 Portuguese Port Traders were allowed to anchor ships in Macau´s harbors and they could trade. Finally, in 1537 the Portuguese establish a little Colony at Macau to be administered by Chinese authorities.
