Most parents make little use of baby clothing. For example, more than half of all parents dress their infants a particular garment only a few times during about a one month period before stowing that garment away. In addition, 24 percent of all parents let their babies wear any particular piece of clothing only a single time. Which of the following, if true, would cast the most serious doubt on the claim that most parents do not get much use out of baby clothing? A. Many parents have more than one child. B. Most parents get baby clothes as presents from their friends and family. C. It is customary for most infants to wear clothes which were handed down from siblings and relatives. D. Infants need more new clothing than adults because they grow out their existing garments quickly. E. There is a huge second-hand market for baby clothing.

I was stuck between C & D..I feel D is a stronger contender
1. The clothing is used by the baby only once..even if it is handed down to the parents by relatives..we are talking about one particular parent child pair's use of baby clothing & not the till date usage (not including that of their forefathers)..and that pair here, does not use it adequately enough..
2. The clothing is just fit to be worn once..as the baby outgrows them rapidly..-->There a\is nothing that the parents could do about it..So we can say that they are using it adequately enough...The presence of an additional premise stating that one month is a sufficient enough period for the baby to outgrow the clothes would have made this a better answer

Not a very good question..Debatable OA

I agree and I understand your point. I would've said the same thing

I'm fully convinced that option D is correct. Well done, I'm really growing at an amazing rate, so you need to change often or buy new clothes. Option C is also very good, but I am not 100% sure that it is correct, so I chose option D. My son is already three years old, and I have to buy new clothes every three or 6 months, depending on the type of clothing. To be honest, I used to order clothes online https://ooyoo.co.uk/ because it is profitable and convenient, since I do not like to go shopping.For me, the quality of the material is very important, especially I prefer environmentally friendly materials, such as linen, which allows the baby's skin to breathe and does not cause an allergic reaction.Yes, it is often not very profitable to buy new clothes, but many parents have no choice.
