Literary critic: A folktale is a traditional story told in an entertaining way, which may lead some to think that folktales lack deeper meaning. But this is not the case. A folktale is passed along by a culture for generations, and each storyteller adds something of his or her own to the story, and in this way folktales provide great insight into the wisdom of the culture. The main conclusion of the literary critic’s argument can be properly inferred if which one of the following is assumed?
(A) Any tale that is passed along by a culture for generations can provide great insight into the wisdom of that culture.
(B) ...
(C) ...
(D) ...
(E) ...

In this type of problem, we are looking for an argument that supports the conclusion of the paragraph in question. Another way of looking at it is if the argument's negative form is correct then the conclusion is weakened. For example, if the wisdom into the culture does not add meaning, then the folk tale will not be meaningful.
