Monique: Whenever I get depressed about the direction in which my life is going, I seem to receive another bit of horrible news. It's almost as if someone up there waits until I am at my most emotionally vulnerable and decides to make things worse.
The flaw in Monique's reasoning is the possibility that
(A) the phrase ”emotionally vulnerable" is difficult to quantify.
(B) Monique would feel better if she braced herself for bad news whenever she felt depressed.
(C) people deal with bad news in many different ways because some people are more stable than others.
(D) when Monique is emotionally vulnerable, the bad news she hears seems much more horrible than it actually is.
(E) her feelings of depression might be treatable if she sought professional counseling.

(C) people deal with bad news in many different ways because some people are more stable than others.
(D) when Monique is emotionally vulnerable, the bad news she hears seems much more horrible than it actually is. --> Correct Answer. Reasoning: This point proves that it is not that the next news that Monique hears is more horrible, but her emotional vulnerability that makes her think of the bad news as much more horrible.So it is a flaw in herself.
(E) her feelings of depression might be treatable if she sought professional counseling.
