Although I marked E as the answer, I am still not clear why A can be eliminated. Lets see it this way:
Brad objects by saying that Videorama sold only 4000 videos whereas the decline is 10,000 videos. So he believes that there must be some other reason. This is what we have to weaken.
Now, option A says, Videorama rented more videos than it sold. It can mean that videorama was able to divert the balance 6000 people from the existing video outlets. When I view the problem in this way, A appears to be the correct choice.
Please help me understand where am I going wrong.
Thanks
Here's the deal.
I could show you why (A) doesn't work, but really my showing you that is not what you need right now. You could COMPLETELY understand thousands of questions, but, since GMAT Critical Reasoning is not about what you KNOW as much as it is about what you DO and what you SEE, understanding many already existing questions will not be sufficient for getting you to your score goal. So, I think you are better off doing what you have to do until you see why (A) does not work.
At this point in your training, what you need more than explanations is to develop your SKILLS.
You have completely missed some key aspects of what is said in the passage and what is said in (A). Once you see what you have to see, you will completely agree that (A) does not work AT ALL.
So, go back, read the passage again, read the question again, and read choice (A) again, and figure out why choice (A) is completely useless. Take your time, read every word, and do what you have to do until you see what you have to see. That process is how you train to crush Critical Reasoning.
