Hi
Another question. Hope to see some responses. Kudos for those who explain the correct option accurately.
Please note: This is a self made question.
Following a major mishap, a pilgrim spot in the country had been kept closed for 5 years. A directive by the government has recently allowed the spot to be reopened for pilgrimage. Since then, a huge rush is being witnessed across various regional booking offices in the country that offer pilgrim tours to the spot. Before the mishap, the spot had been well known for pilgrims above forty years of age. However, a newspaper report published this week claims that all booking offices are crowded with mostly young people. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that the young generation of the country has become less religious than before.
Which of the following statements most demonstrates a flaw in the argument:
A. The argument does not question the authenticity of the report published by the newspaper.
B. The argument confuses a regional booking office visitor with the actual ticket purchaser.
C. The argument does not consider that the number of tickets booked this year may differ from the number of pilgrims who traveled to the spot before 2008.
D. The argument assumes that people who book tickets from counters are the ones who travel.
E. The argument has not considered the fact that last minute cancellations are high in such trips.

IMO, OA is D, because the argument assumes those who book tickets and those who travel are same, they might be different. The young people might book tickets for their parents.

Although the A is tempting, I chose D, since D is more stronger than A. If those who purchase tickets are young people, but it is not them who travel, then the conclusion is shattered and the argument is no longer valid.
