Like a number of other articles, Ian Raghnalls article relied on a recent survey in which over half the couples applying for divorces listed money as a major problem in their marriages. Raghnalls conclusion from the survey data is that financial problems are the major problem in marriages and an important factor contributing to high divorce rate. Yet couples often express other types of marital frustrations in financial terms. Despite appearances, the survey data do not establish that financial problems are the major problem in contemporary marriages.
In the passage, the author does which one of the following?
A. undermines a conclusion drawn from statistical data by offering a specific counterexample
B. undermines a conclusion drawn from statistical data by offering an alternative explanation for some of the data
C. undermines a conclusion drawn from statistical data by showing that one cannot prove the presence of an emotion by using statistical methods
D. undermines a conclusion drawn from statistical data by criticizing the survey for which the data was gathered
E. undermines a conclusion by showing that couples cannot accurately describe their own problems

The line 'Yet couples often express other types of marital frustrations in financial terms' tells us that there are alternative explanations for some of the data points. - CORRECT
Quote:
Nothing about what can and cannot be proven is mentioned.

There is no criticizing here.

Again, totally doesn't exist in the argument.

D, says criticizing the survey for which the data was gathered but that does not true author finds out offering an alternative explanation for some of the data.
Yet couples often express other types of marital frustrations in financial terms. Despite appearances, the survey data do not establish that financial problems are the major problem in contemporary marriages.
so imo ---b
