In a recent survey, 75% of participants said they preferred Brand A over Brand B. However, the same survey found that many respondents were unfamiliar with Brand B, indicating that those who chose Brand A may have had little basis for their preference.
Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the argument that the survey results are reliable?
A) The survey was conducted with a representative sample of consumers who had used both Brand A and Brand B.
B) Brand B had recently launched a major advertising campaign to increase brand recognition.
C) Many of the participants who preferred Brand A had used it exclusively for several years.
D) The survey was conducted in an area where Brand A has a higher market share than Brand B.
E) A similar survey conducted last year found that 70% of participants preferred Brand A over Brand B.

Answer:
A) The survey was conducted with a representative sample of consumers who had used both Brand A and Brand B.
Explanation: This choice strengthens the argument because it provides evidence that the participants had a fair basis for their preferences, making the survey results more reliable. The other choices either provide additional context or do not directly address the reliability of the survey results.

can someone please explain this? as per the paragraph, the result of the survey mentions that people were not very familiar with product B which states that there was little basis for the choice. would this not make option 'D' the more appropriate choice?
thank you
