Employee: My boss says that my presentation to our accounting team should have included more detail about profit projections. But people’s attention tends to wander when they are presented with too much detail. So, clearly my boss is incorrect.
The reasoning in the employee’s argument is flawed because the argument:
(A) takes for granted that the boss’s assessments of employee presentations are generally not accurate.
(B) fails to distinguish between more of something and too much of it.
(C) fails to consider that an audience’s attention might wander for reasons other than being presented with too much detail.
(D) infers a generalization based only on a single case.
(E) confuses two distinct meanings of the key term “detail.”

The reasoning in the employee’s argument is flawed because the argument:
(A) takes for granted that the boss’s assessments of employee presentations are generally not accurate. - WRONG. Goves a reason for the claim that boss is incorrect. So, this is wrong to say that it was taken granted.
(B) fails to distinguish between more of something and too much of it. - CORRECT. Looks best among the choices
(C) fails to consider that an audience’s attention might wander for reasons other than being presented with too much detail. - WRONG. Other reason goes a little beyond the scope of passage. 2nd best actually.
(D) infers a generalization based only on a single case. - WRONG. Never a generalization.
(E) confuses two distinct meanings of the key term “detail.” - WRONG. There are no two meanings.
Answer B.
