Which of the following statements would most seriously undermine the consortium's viewpoint?
A. On average, a set of chess pieces costs much more than most other board games. Irrelevant. Other games might be costlier than board games. And we don't know if cheaper games are popular or not.
B. The chess industry received a lot of favorable publicity last year when a computer defeated the world chess champion for the first time. Reverse. The advertisement that chess received should make more people interested in playing chess. This suggests may be the argument is right.
C. Tennis is most enjoyable when two equally matched opponents play each other, and the number of young tennis players has risen steadily. This is correct as it compares tennis, another game best enjoyed when properly matched opponents play, is rising in popularity while chess isn't. This creates doubt that the problem with chess might not be the one stated in the argument.
D. Playing chess help children develop analytical minds and learn to devise strategies to achieve long-term goals. Irrelevant Evidence. There is nothing in argument about Developing analytical minds and achieving long term goals.
E. More than 50000 chess sets were sold last year. Irrelevant evidence. There is nothing stated in the argument to compare the sales figures of chess sets with.
