A greater number of newspapers are sold in Town S than in Town T. Therefore, the citizens of Town S are better informed about major world events than are the citizens of Town T.
Claim, S has more newspaper, thus more informed about world events.
The assumption is more total newspaper means more avg newspaper per person per day, thus more informed.
Quote:
Each of the following, if true, weakens the conclusion above EXCEPT:
(A) Town S has a larger population than Town T.
Meaning newspaper per person may not be more. Weaken.
Quote:
(B) Most citizens of Town T work in Town S and buy their newspapers there.
Again newspaper per person in T may not be less because they buy their newspaper at work and can still be informed. Weaken.
Quote:
(C) The average citizen of Town S spends less time reading newspapers than does the average citizen of Town T.
If S spend less time reading newspapers, they may have a lot of newspaper but they simply lay around and the citizens in S still may be less informed. Weaken.
Quote:
(D) A weekly newspaper restricted to the coverage of local events is published in Town S.
The greater number may be due to this local paper and thus the S citizens may not be more informed in world events. Weaken.
Quote:
(E) The average newsstand price of newspapers sold in Town S is lower than the average price of newspapers sold in Town T.
Yes it's cheaper so everybody buys lots newspaper and become very informed. Not weakening.
So E.
