Applications for advertising spots on KMTV, Greentown’s local cable television channel, decreased last year. Meanwhile a neighboring town’s local channel, KOOP, shifted its focus to farming issues and reported an increase in advertising applications for the year. To increase applications for its advertisement spots, KMTV should focus its programming on farming issues as well.
Which of the following wekens the argument above?
A. The general nature of jobs available in Greentown differs slightly from that in the town where KOOP is based.
B. KMTV has seen its advertising revenue fall for three consecutive years.
C. KOOP offers advertising spots at a particularly cheap rate when compared to similar channels’.
D. KMTV has nearly doubled the price of advertising spots from last year to the current one.
E. KMTV and KOOP have been competitors since both started operation in 1992.

Hi,
The argument says that KMTV should follow the path of KOOP by switching over to the farming issues.
We have to weaken the argument.
How can we do it..
1. Some other reasons for this increase in KOOP and drop in KMTV.
2. Something that tells us that farming issues cannot be applied to KMTV
We can eliminate all except C and D as also seen in above posts.
For all those confused between C and D..
Choice C tells us that the rates at KOOP are quite cheap when compared to others, so rates are also cheap when compared to KMTV
But that must be the case even earlier, but WHY did the increase happen in last two years. . This choice does not hit the reason for the increase specific to last year. If we accept the choice C to be true, then the increase in the advertising applications for KOOP should have been high in years prior to last year.
So, eliminate C because it does not give us reason to believe that the cheaper rates are responsible for increase in LAST year's applications.
Now D talks of the two year in question - last year and present year.
Thus it gives us another reason for the decrease of KMTV's add applications.

A is a general statement...just because jobs are different doesnt weaken the conclusion. Also it mentions the word "slighly"
C was a bit tricky but we need to weaken the conclusion about KMTV.
Thus D is the answer...because if they increase the cost it might not work
