QUESTION TYPE: Role in Argument
CONCLUSION: The obligation to express gratitude cannot be expressed anonymously.
REASONING: Human psychology is driven by personal interaction. Therefore, we can only reinforce positive behaviors if gratitude is expressed publicly. Hence, the obligation to express gratitude must be public.
ANALYSIS: The psychologist concludes that gratitude cannot be expressed anonymously. The rest of the stimulus provides reasons to support this. Don’t be fooled by the “thus” in the final sentence; this is simply an intermediate conclusion giving reasons to support the main conclusion.

- No. There are no other considerations to counter.
