Bump. For those of you who eliminated AC "E", why did you do so?

e cannot be choice because it would mean that the sample for the survey is biased. One cannot make a conclusion about "most people" from a sample of only young people.

A) In another recent study, most of the people surveyed indicated that they would not want to be told if they had a serious medical condition
- weakens argument
B) People often do not indicate their true feelings when responding to surveys
- weakens argument
C) Some of the researchers conducting the studies had no background in medicine
- not important
D) Some questions asked in the studies suggested that reasonable people would want to be told if they had a serious medical condition
- If some of the questions in the studies was skewed in such a way people would prefer ot be told if they had a serious medical studies, then the survey is not accurate.
E) The people surveyed in the studies were all young students in introductory psychology courses
- Biased

C for me

I was actually stuck between C and D....

leaning more towards D...can some explain why D is not it...

I guess C is totally irrelevant so it doesnt weaken the argument...I understand that..but D to me seemed to directly strengthen the argument by saying reasonable people would want to hear about it...

D attacks the survey by saying that the survey was skewed and the conclusion drawn from such a skewed survey is not correct. So it does weaken the argument
