Graphics Designer: the client's campaign targets mainly women. Since research has shown that pink, red and purple appeal to women more than other colors, we have decided to include them in the ad. Therefore, this ad should be significantly more appealing to women than other ads.
Advertisement Manager: I am a woman, and I do not find this ad appealing. Although women may find pink, red and purple more appealing than other colors, they do not necessarily find the combination of all three colors appealing.
The advertisement manager responds to the graphics designer by
(A) making a generalization that supports the graphic designer's conclusion and then pointing out an overlooked detail which weakens it
(B) stating a specific case which may undermine the graphic designer's conclusion and then pointing out an overlooked detail which supports it
(C) making a generalization about the graphic designer and then dismissing the graphic designer's work due to an incorrect conclusion
(D) stating a specific case which may undermine the graphic designer's conclusion and then pointing out an overlooked detail which further undermines it
(E) stating a specific case which may undermine the graphic designer's conclusion and then supporting the conclusion with a general rule

The advertisement manager responds to the graphics designer by:
1. " I am a woman, and I do not find this ad appealing": Stating a specific case that can undermine the graphic designer's (GD) conclusion.
2. Although women may find pink, red and purple more appealing than other colours, they do not necessarily find the combination of all three colours appealing: Here although she agrees with the generalization made by the GD, she gives a point that can undermine GD's conclusion.
Now with these points in mind let's dive down to the option choices:
(A) making a generalization that supports the graphic designer's conclusion and then pointing out an overlooked detail which weakens it :This option looks like a close call. Because generalization is repeated by her. Let's hold onto A.
(B) stating a specific case which may undermine the graphic designer's conclusion and then pointing out an overlooked detail which supports it : First point is correct but let's discard this option as we know that overlooked detail doesn't support the conclusion.
(C) making a generalization about the graphic designer and then dismissing the graphic designer's work due to an incorrect conclusion : Come on, she is not making any generalization about the graphic designer. Let's not get personal here.
(D) stating a specific case which may undermine the graphic designer's conclusion and then pointing out an overlooked detail which further undermines it : Hmmmm. Looks the same as we thought. First specific case that undermines the GD's conclusion- YES and then pointing to an overlooked detail that further undermines the conclusion. Hell Yeahhhh.
(E) stating a specific case which may undermine the graphic designer's conclusion and then supporting the conclusion with a general rule : No she doesn't support the conclusion. Let's dump it.
Between A and D, I would have chosen D. So D might be our answer.

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Graphics Designer: the client's campaign targets mainly women. Since research has shown that pink, red and purple appeal to women more than other colors, we have decided to include them in the ad. Therefore, this ad should be significantly more appealing to women than other ads.
Advertisement Manager: I am a woman, and I do not find this ad appealing. Although women may find pink, red and purple more appealing than other colors, they do not necessarily find the combination of all three colors appealing.
The advertisement manager responds to the graphics designer by
(A) making a generalization that supports the graphic designer's conclusion and then pointing out an overlooked detail which weakens it
Incorrect.
To answer this Dialog Analysis question, first break down the graphic designer's argument. The first two sentences provide information (premises) while the last sentence begins with the conclusion conjunction Therefore:
- Premise: Our target audience is women.
+
Premise: Research shows that women like pink, red, and purple so we used all three in our ad.
=
Conclusion: Our ad will be more appealing to women than others.
Possible Assumption: women like all three colors together
Next, break down the advertisement manager's response:
- (i) Although I am a woman, I don't find this appealing - an example that undermines the conclusion
(ii) The combination of all three colors may not be appealing to women - exposing an assumption, something that the graphic designer overlooked
While the second statement made by the advertisement manager does point out an overlooked detail, the first statement is not a generalization and does not support the graphic designer's conclusion.
(B) stating a specific case which may undermine the graphic designer's conclusion and then pointing out an overlooked detail which supports it
Incorrect.
While the first statement made by the advertisement manager is an example that undermines the graphic designer's conclusion, the second statement does not support the graphic designer's conclusion.
(C) making a generalization about the graphic designer and then dismissing the graphic designer's work due to an incorrect conclusion
Incorrect.
The advertisement manager's first statement is not about the graphic designer but about the manager. Furthermore, the advertisement manager does not dismiss the graphic designer's work - that's too dramatic and unprofessional for the GMAT.
Instead, we see that both statements undermine the graphic designer's conclusion. Look for an answer which reflects this analysis.
(D) stating a specific case which may undermine the graphic designer's conclusion and then pointing out an overlooked detail which further undermines it
Correct!
The advertisement manager's first claim is that there is one woman (the advertisement manager herself) who does not find the ad appealing. This is a specific, undermining case.
She then continues to note that while pink, red and purple are appealing to women, when combined, these colors may not appeal to women. This is a detail overlooked by the graphic designer (who assumed otherwise), which undermines the conclusion.
(E) stating a specific case which may undermine the graphic designer's conclusion and then supporting the conclusion with a general rule[/quote]
Incorrect.

While the first statement made by the advertisement manager is a specific case that undermines the graphic designer's conclusion, the second statement is not a general rule and it does not support the graphic designer's conclusion.
