According to a consumer research group survey, the majority of kitchen appliances purchased in the United States are purchased by men. This appears to belie the myth that women spend more time in the kitchen than men.
The argument is flawed primarily because the author _____________.
(A) fails to differentiate between buying and using
(B) does not provide information about the types of kitchen appliances surveyed
(C) depends on the results of one survey
(D) does not give exact statistics to back up his case
(E) does not provide information on other appliances such as washers and dryers

I feel answer A is the most logical option to select from.
B seems irrelevant because the type of appliance doesn't matter.
C does not make sense because using one survey does not invalidate the logic.
D the lack of statistics won't prove the author flawed.
E Washers and dryers are just appliances and do not make sense to be included as an option.

The first line is a factual statement of the question. The author reasoning is what follows, the author believes the myth that women spend more time in kitchen than men.
Myth is something the author believes to be true, which can be true or may not be true at all.
Just because, men came out to purchase kitchen appliances doesn’t mean the women was cooking. May be she was in midst of some important work, and couldn’t find time to accompany him during purchase.
Secondly, may be the man could have came to purchase kitchen appliances which suits his needs and comfort while cooking.
Thirdly, the time of cooking is no where related, as different cuisines or quantity of cooking might take different time periods.
The author assumes women cooking for a longer period than men is flawed as buying and using are different.
Moreover, there are multitude of ways to see this statement. Hence, option A.
