More gym memberships are bought in the town of Schwartz than in the town of Talsberg. Therefore, the citizens of Schwartz exercise more frequently than do the citizens of Talsberg.
Each of the following, if true, weakens the conclusion above EXCEPT:
A. Schwartz has a larger population than Talsberg does. => weaken, because larger population can mean that the proportion of gym user in S isn't as high as T, even if more gym memberships are bought in S
B. Most citizens of Talsberg work in Schwartz and have memberships in gyms there. => weaken, this means at least some gym memberships bought in S could have been bought by citizens of T
C. The average price of a gym membership is lower in Schwartz than it is in Talsberg. => does not weaken, the argument is talking about the number of memberships, not revenue
D. A large, free community gym open to all is available to the citizens of Talsberg. => weaken, as those working out at this gym will not be included in the gym memberships bought
E. The average citizen of Schwartz spends less time at the gym per week than does the average citizen of Talsberg. => weaken, as T citizens may work out more even if fewer memberships are bought
Choose C

A. Schwartz has a larger population than Talsberg does.
--> A larger population clearly suggests the possible reason for more memberships but does not clarify the higher frequency of exercise. This weakens.
B. Most citizens of Talsberg work in Schwartz and have memberships in gyms there.
--> This suggests that the conclusion may not be valid since most of the people from Talsberg visit Schwartz for gymming and also pay their gym fees to that city. This weakens.
C. The average price of a gym membership is lower in Schwartz than it is in Talsberg.
--> Similar to A. This presents a possible reason to buy more memberships but does not clarify is the membership converts to exercise. It may or may not. This weakens.
D. A large, free community gym open to all is available to the citizens of Talsberg.
--> This weakens the conclusion by stating that Talsberg people enjoy gym without membership hence the comparison is invalid. This weakens.
E. The average citizen of Schwartz spends less time at the gym per week than does the average citizen of Talsberg.
--> Correct. Total time spent in the gym may not be a good indicator of gym frequency. This option does not invalidate the conclusion and can coexist.
IMHO Option E
