Re: Now is an excellent time to invest in the catering business. A survey [#permalink]
I know D is the correct answer but can someone explain why? The other options seem irrelevant.

In the argument two different things are compared

1 70% of the readers
2 55%of the weddings

This is the gap.
The correct choice is D,it talks about the gap.

Premise is about 70% of the magazine's readers while conclusion is about 55% percent of all the weddings likely to happen.

What if there are 100 magazine readers who are likely to get married, 70 of them want catered reception.
Lets say there are 1000 weddings likely to happen but not everyone wants a catered reception. Existing caterers can already supply to 550 of these weddings which means there is an oversupply of caterers.
