A fashion designer’s fall line for women utilizing new soft fabrics broke all sales records last year. To capitalize on her success, the designer plans to launch a line of clothing for men this year that makes use of the same new soft fabrics.

The designer’s plan assumes that


(A) other designers are not planning to introduce new lines for men utilizing the same soft fabrics

(B) men will be as interested in the new soft fabrics as women were the year before

(C) the designer will have time to develop new lines for both men and women

(D) the line for men will be considered innovative and daring because of its use of fabrics

(E) women who bought the new line last year will continue to buy it this year


This is a CR Butler Question


OFFICIAL EXPLANATION



A fashion designer’s fall line for women utilizing new soft fabrics broke all sales records last year. To capitalize on her success, the designer plans to launch a line of clothing for men this year that makes use of the same new soft fabrics.

The designer’s plan assumes that



(A) other designers are not planning to introduce new lines for men utilizing the same soft fabrics

(B) men will be as interested in the new soft fabrics as women were the year before

(C) the designer will have time to develop new lines for both men and women

(D) the line for men will be considered innovative and daring because of its use of fabrics

(E) women who bought the new line last year will continue to buy it this year

B

This is an analogy argument. The men’s line is being introduced in the hope that men will like the new soft fabrics as much as women did the year before. The key word in the passage that might have alerted you to the analogy was the word same. The assumption on which this argument depends is that men and women will like the same new fabric. Choices A, C, D, and E are all outside the scope of the argument. The best answer is B.
