Serious individual art collectors are usually discreet when making significant purchases or sales related to their collections. At art auctions, for example, these collectors often place anonymous bids for major artwork. Therefore, the whereabouts of most of the world's most valuable artwork is probably unknown.
Each of the following, if true, would weaken the conclusion above EXCEPT:
A) The value of a piece of art is purely subjective.
B) Serious art collectors usually publicize their new artwork several months after making a purchase.
C) Museums own the vast majority of the world's most valuable artwork.
D) Of all the individuals in the world who own extremely valuable artwork, only a few are considered serious art collectors.
E) The private collections of most serious individual art collectors are often displayed in public settings.

A) The value of a piece of art is purely subjective.
CORRECT, this does not weaken the conclusion.
B) Serious art collectors usually publicize their new artwork several months after making a purchase.
Hence the location is know if the collector publicize his new purcheses.
C) Museums own the vast majority of the world's most valuable artwork.
If this is true, than the location of the most valuable work is know: the museums.
D) Of all the individuals in the world who own extremely valuable artwork, only a few are considered serious art collectors.
If this is true, (the number of serious art collectors is little) then the number of valuable work whose whereabouts is unknown is little (it's reasonable to conclude so).
E) The private collections of most serious individual art collectors are often displayed in public settings.
If they display them in public, then the location is know.
For me it was between A and D. If we analyze D closely, we can assume something that weakens the conclusion, but the info contained in A does not allow us to infer anything.

Generally for except questions, i think the best to attack is to think without except mark. So, think of the answers that weaken the conclusion and answer accordingly.
A) Doesn't hurt the conclusion which says you can't find people who buys these popular art pieces or u can't find that art.
B)Hurt's you know where to find them. gone
C)Well if museums owns them than you can find them.gone
D)So you know the serious buyers. gone.
E)art is displayed publicly. gone
Answer A.
