An implied argument is an argument which leaves us to draw the supposedly obvious conclusion for ourselves. Where an assumption on which the argument depends is not stated it is not readily available for scrutiny and therefore the fact that it is questionable or false can easily escape our attention. Similarly where a conclusion remains unstated the questionable connection between it and the reasons given for it remains out of view and may thus escape our critical appraisal. The problem with implied arguments therefore is that they involve a sort of mental sleight of hand that can fool us.

Answer:
The answer is: B. one main verb and one or more helping verbs.
A verb phrase represents a syntactic unit which includes at least one verb and its dependents. The necessary condition is that the verb phrase always contains one main verb. It may consist of a main verb plus modal/auxiliary verbs (one or more), but it can also contain a main verb only. In any case, the main verb always comes after the helping verbs.
