Which of the following, if true, would weaken the implication of one of the writer’s observations
A. Most out-of-order vending machines are located in rundown neighbourhoods.
B. Late-night vandalism has plagued post offices nationwide.
C. Although postage rates have risen, the cost of first class mail is still cheaper in the United States than anywhere else.
D. As a public corporation, the Postal Service has increased its capital assets by $3 billion.
E. When stamps cost 8 cents, most letters reached their destination within 24 hours.

Hi Atharva, let's analyze this.
Question: Which of the following, if true, would weaken the implication of "one of the writer’s observations".
Implication: postal patrons are affronted/unhappy about...
One of the writer’s observations: 33-cent letters that take as long to get there as 8-cent letters did long ago
Option E: When stamps cost 8 cents, most letters reached their destination within 24 hours.
Reaching their destination within 24 hours is great, isn't it? In other words, 33-cent letters reach their destination within 24 hours. That is really good and if this is the case, postal patrons not NOT have a reason to be affronted/unhappy about this particular service.
Hence, E weakens the implication of this observation of the writer.
