E for me. The passege talks about quality and the public's perception of it. Food comes down to a Question of taste and that makes the answer choice the least appealing.

E. Food is out-of-scope. Odd out from the choices.
For those who chose C, even the name sounding like Japanese has been discussed. "Advertising".

IMO it is E, as all options except E, talks about technology in one or the other form. In option E , it is frozen foods, which is not any kind of technology.

It has to be E . We are talking about America lagging in the field of technology . Every option strengthens that except the last one which talks about food .

Straight E. Unless you want to tell me that frozen food is high technology. Cheers.

apurva1985 wrote: At one time, European and Japanese companies tried to imitate their American rivals. Today, American appliance manufacturers import European scientists to lead their research staffs; American automakers design cars that mimic the styling of German, Italian, and French imports; and American electronics firms boast in their advertising of Japanese-style devotion to quality and reliability. In the world of high technology, America has lost the battle for international prestige.
Each of the following statements, if true, would help to support the claim above EXCEPT:
(A) An American camera company claims in its promotional literature to produce cameras as fine as the best Swiss imports.
(B) An American maker of stereo components designs its products to resemble those of a popular Japanese firm.
(C) An American manufacturer of video games uses a brand name chosen because it sounds like a Japanese word.
(D) An American maker of televisions studies German-made televisions in order to adopt German manufacturing techniques.
(E) An American maker of frozen foods advertises its dinners as Real European-style entrees prepared by fine French and Italian chefs.
Please explain your answers ................. the claim is In the world of high technology, America has lost the battle for international prestige.all the answers (A,B,C & D) talk of Hitech except E( which talks about food). Hence E is the odd man out.

comebackkid wrote: E, but for yet a different reason. In this choice the food is actually made by chefs from France and Italy whereas in the sitmulus the American production of high tech equipment was only made to appear more like that produced in other countries. This is the only reasoning that makes sense, and I agree with E. Since E is the only one not talking about technology, but the people making it (European Chefs) it doesn't relate directly to the question. While the frozen food industry is actually very tech heavy (and extremely complex), "E" is actually talking about the chefs being prestigious not the process of freezing food being prestigious. outside of that, very questionable CR type question. One could easily argue away "E".
