PowerScore Explanation

Raghnall’s article cites survey result to conclude that financial problems are the major problem in marriages and an important factor contributing to the high divorce rate. The author argues that since couples often express other types of problems in financial terms, the survey data do not establish Raghnall’s conclusion.

Answer choice (A): The stimulus does not argue that financial problems are not an important factor. It merely states that Raghnall has not established the claim that financial problems are the major problem in contemporary marriages. As such, this answer does not pass the Fact Test.

Answer choice (B): This answer also does not pass the Fact Test. Nowhere in the stimulus does it state that marital problems are more easily solved more marriage counselors than by couples themselves.

Answer choice (C): This is the correct answer choice. Raghnall relied on a survey to conclude that financial problems are the major problem in marriages. But the stimulus argues that the survey data do not establish that financial problems are the major problem. Raghnall’s conclusion is thus inadequately justified.

Answer choice (D): This is the result of the survey that Raghnall cited, but it is not the main conclusion of the argument.

Answer choice (E): The conclusion is not about many articles, but only Raghnall’s. Moreover, it does not argue that the article’s claim is wrong, but that it has not been sufficiently justified.

The correct answer choice is (C)
