the OA says ’at most one’. Doesn’t that also include a possible case where 0 persons recognise veryone in the room?

and it is necessary for at least one person to know everyne else in the room

OA is Option D. Option C says "at most one"....and yes, any "at most one" includes 0 or 1.

"At least one person in the room recognizes everybody else in the room"...this nullifies our case of no one recognising anybody

Some political observers believe that the only reason members of the state’s largest union supported Senator Hughes in his recent re-election campaign was that the union’s leaders must have been assured by Hughes that, if elected, he would stay out of their coming negotiations with the union’s national leadership, whose members have been financial backers of several close associates of Hughes. More likely, the union’s members believed that Hughes deserved to serve another term in office.

Which of the following best parallels the method of argument used by the author?

A. The popularity of Deap, a powerful carpet cleaning system that can be used by the homeowner is, some industry observers say, due to an agreement made by a leading professional carpet cleaning company to supply Deap with the chemicals that are sold as accessories. This does not, however, fully explain the sudden popularity of the product in the last three months.

B. After a rocky start, Shade, a new cosmetics line, is now selling briskly. The reason for the turnaround is almost certainly that Shade is now being marketed to women in their twenties, not just to teens. This has helped the product achieve a more sophisticated appeal, which has translated into greater sales in every age group.

C. The Shakelight, a small flashlight that can be powered for several minutes by a shaking motion, has once again proven a popular gift item this holiday season. Other similar devices are available, but none has been as successful, and the reason is simple: the cost of The Shakelight has fluctuated so that it has always been at least one dollar less than that of any competitor. The manufacturers’ claim that they have a better product is nonsense.

D. The continued success of the Daddo line of toys is due to the simple appeal that these toys have for kids between three years of age and six. Others disagree. One industry journal ascribed the brand’s popularity to a deal made with a major toy retailer guaranteeing that the retailer would carry the coming line of Daddo products exclusively for three months.

E. As with last year, this year’s best selling foreign policy journal is World Opinion. It may be that the content in World Opinion is simply more exhaustive and better presented than that of similar publications, or it may be that the journal’s publishers have the substantial support of their parent company, which has been a good friend to bookstores and other outlets

Can someone explain why the option E is wrong and D is correct ?

Initially it seemed None of the options seem relevant..indeed a Hard Q....my way of thinking are these keywords "the only reason.....largest union supported the Senator in his reelection is that....he wd stay out of their upcoming negotiations with the union’s national leadership......been financial backers...." Out of all the options nly D talks abt a deal (aka negotiation) made with a major......guaranteeing that the retailer would carry the coming line of products[future commitment] ........this is the nly option tht relates to a negotiation that’s committed to carry forward an endorsement

I would love to have a better explanation from the Champs

Martin Cole’s 2020 Mediterranean sea biodiversity census reported approximately 12,000 species, nearly double the number reported in Bianca Morris’ 2010 census-a difference only partly attributable to the description of new invertebrate species in the interim. Another factor is that the morphological variability is poorly understood compared to that of vertebrates, invertebrates, plants, and algae, creating uncertainty about how to evaluate micro organisms as species. Therefore, researchers’ decision on such matters can be highly consequential. Indeed, the two census reported similar counts of vertebrate, plant, and algal species, suggesting that________
Which one of the following most logically completes the argument?
A) The absence of clarity regarding how to differentiate among species of microorganisms may have resulted in Cole underestimating the number of microorganisms species
B) Cole reported a much higher number of species than did Morris largely due to the inclusion of invertebrate species that had not been described at the time of Morris’ census
C) Some differences observed in microorganisms may have been treated as variations within species by Morris but were treated as indicative of distinct species by Cole
D) Morris may have been less sensitive to the degree of morphological variation displayed within a typical species of microorganism than Cole
E) The morphological variability is best understood compared to that of vertebrates

A student response survey found that students
who paid for 10 or more in-person tutoring
sessions on an hour-by-hour basis missed or
rescheduled a session on average once every
five sessions. By contrast, those students who
purchased tutoring sessions in ten-hour packages
missed or rescheduled a session on average
only once every ten sessions. This indicates that
students are at least partly motivated by the
amount of money they have invested for in-person
tutoring.
Which of the following, if true, calls into question
the explanation above?
The price per hour was slightly more
expensive for those who bought
individual hours.
Many students who missed or
rescheduled sessions did so
although they made a strong verbal
commitment beforehand to be
present.
All students must pay a 10% fee for
rescheduling any tutoring session, but
if a student cancels a session entirely,
the entire cost is forfeited.
Upon purchase of any tutoring hours,
students are required to immediately
schedule all the purchased hours.
Students who try to reschedule
tutoring sessions without enough
notice may not be able to make up
the session in a timely fashion, so that it counts a missed session.
