A says "By alleging something that, if true"
In the argument the consumer never doubts if its true or not.
Consumer boldly claims that consumers pay for the advertisement ( "We consumers do")
This is what made me choose E over A . Though E is wrong , A doesn't sound right too .
Can anyone suggest ?
(A) By alleging something that, if true, would weaken the plausibility of the advertiser’s conclusion
Allege what?
Consumer: But who pays for the advertising that pays for low-priced newspapers and magazines? We consumers do, because advertisers pass along advertising costs to us through the higher prices they charge for their products.If above statement is true that it weakens the advertiser’s conclusion.
What is advertiser's conclusion == consumers benefit economically from advertising.
Actually consumer says, it doesn't benefit consumers economically.
Exactly that's what is happening
E is wrong because the scope is on economic. We don't care about other effects based on the information given in the argument.
In short, advertisers say consumers benefit economically. Consumer says , no we don't benefit economically. We need to pay high price for these products.
E says : that the argument is only focus on economic point. It should also consider other points.
But that is not needed for this argument as scope is based on economic factor. Hence E is absolutely wrong.
