Hi, I chose B and it's the wrong answer. In a Main Point question like this, I thought it encompassed the most important aspects of the passage, but I suppose that's where I went wrong. When the question asks for the "most accurately express[ed] overall conclusion drawn in the argument", it's just asking for the literal main conclusion, which is answer choice E. Am I correct in my assessment?

Hi gw,

You're correct - it's just asking for the literal main conclusion (or to use the words of the question stem, the "overall conclusion"). This is the main issue the author is trying to convince us of - that we should use a wood pellet stove rather than a regular wood stove. Everything else in the stimulus is playing a role to support this overall point.
