In 1991, 45% of the company’s budget was spent
on research and development. In the past 10 years,
the company’s commitment to research has only
intensified, as shown by the fact that in 2001, a full
60% of the budget was earmarked for this area.
Accordingly, the claim of the staff in the science
department that the company is spending less today
on research and development than it has in the past
is clearly false.

Which of the following, if true, casts the most doubt
on the argument above?

A) In 2001, the company spent more on marketing
than it did in 1991.
B) Despite a increase in the public’s desire for
better developed products, the company has
focused more of its effort in research than
development.
C) The overall company budget for 2001 is
approximately $10 million less than the overall
company budget was in 1991.
D) The science department staff has previously
made false claims about other company
operations.
E) The company president, due to pressure from
shareholders, has promised to continue to
increase spending on research and
development.
