It is not A because the cost of repairs to the food processors is covered by the lifetime service warranty.

Manufacturers of household appliances are still urging the public to purchase food processors. The various manufacturers’ advertisements all point out that the prices of these appliances are now lower than ever and that each food processor comes with a lifetime service warranty. In addition, many manufacturers offer sizable rebates to customers who purchase food processors within a given time period. With these incentives, the advertisements contend, people can hardly afford not to purchase food processors.

Which answer choice is a logically prior issue that the manufacturers’ advertisements fail to address?

(A) Whether the cost of repairs to the food processors over the years will cancel out the savings currently being offered
The company is giving lifetime warranty.

(B) Whether potential customers have enough uses for food processors to justify purchasing them
Correct. This is the prior issue even before the savings, advertisements and everything. If the processor you made has no use.. all the discounts will be useless.

(C) Whether the heads of the companies manufacturing food processors own food processors themselves
Doesn't matter..

(D) Whether the food processors currently being advertised will be outdated within the next five years
This issue is after the purchase and not before it.

(E) Whether accessories and replacement parts will be readily available at retail outlets
Life time warranty

The logically prior issue that the manufacturers' advertisements fail to address is:

(B) Whether potential customers have enough uses for food processors to justify purchasing them.

The advertisements focus on the affordability and benefits of purchasing food processors, such as lower prices, lifetime service warranty, and rebates. However, they do not address whether the potential customers actually have a need for food processors or if they would use them frequently enough to justify the purchase. This issue is important because it questions the relevance and value of buying a food processor in the first place, regardless of the incentives offered.
