E??

I would go with D. Its says that only few find it interesting and lucrative, which, I feel, is a solid way to day that it is not a godd business for majority. May be it is good only for some writers, editors and not for say printers, proof-readers et cetera. I don't see an objection in D

E says that some find it interesting. which is kind of an objection that those who want to go in this career will go there. OA please.

I vote for C. "There are several other fields that are just as bad" I don't see this as having an relevance to the argument, so what if other fields are as bad? They probably aren't advisable to be in anyway. Who cares! It has not baring on the entry into THIS field.

what is wrong with B?

As a rule, those who work in the book publishing industry are underpaid, overworked, and subject to being fired without warning at any time. Moreover, as more and more people turn to computers for both information and entertainment, books are rapidly becoming outdated. It is accordingly inadvisable for young people to choose careers in book publishing.

All of the following are valid objections to the argument above EXCEPT
(Looking for statement that supports the conclusioni.e . they should not take a career in book industry). Let us eliminate by TAKE/NOT TAKE

A) Despite the recent increase in the use of computers, overall book sales have continued to grow - TAKE- Out

B) Individuals in the publishing industry are no more subject to being fired than are those in many other industries - Take or Not take, does not matter. 50 - 50- OUT

C) There are numerous fields other than book publishing in which workers are underpaid and overworked - Out - this statement says, regardless of the industry, there are underpaid workers, similar to the book industry. Hence choosing other career will not matter. Well, close enough to be the right choice.- Take or Not take, does not matter. 50 - 50.- OUT

D) For a significant minority, book publishing careers prove to be both enjoyable and lucrative - NOT TAKE - Only for a small number of people is this profession lucrative. Hence this is the right choice.

E) Those interested in leterary endeavors find book publishing to be an ideal working environment- Out of scope. Does not say anything specific. -OUT

OA is A
OE: Choice A is irrelevant to the conclusion of the passage, since the author claims only that "those involved in publishing" ought to read Publishers Weekly; he makes no assertions about anyone else.

Hi Paul

I am unable to understand why A is the best choice. ?. Could you highlight the reason(s).

Thanks

Actually, A could weaken the argument

A) as more and more people turn to computers for both information and entertainment, books are rapidly becoming outdated --> it is not true as book sales have continued to grow. The only argument to explain this is the OE given previously

I am sure most of the book might be ok, but i strongly recommend that you stick to OG and LSAT for CR/RC. The standardized questions from OG/LSAT will atleast have good quality.
