Advertisement: The world\u2019s best coffee beans come from Colombia. The more Colombian beans in a blend of coffee, the better the blend, and no company purchases more Colombian beans than Kreemo Coffee. Inc. So it only stands to reason that if you buy a can of Kreemo\u2019s coffee, you\u2019re buying the best blended coffee available today. <\/p>\n

The reasoning of the argument in the advertisement is flawed because it overlooks the possibility that <\/p>\n

(A) the equipment used by Kreemo to blend and package its coffee is no different from that used by most other coffee producers
\n(B) not all of Kreemo\u2019s competitors use Colombian coffee beans in the blends of coffee they sell
\n(C) Kreemo sells more coffee than does any other company
\n(D) Kreemo\u2019s coffee is the most expensive blended coffee available today
\n(E) the best unblended coffee is better than the best blended coffee<\/p>\n
