MowGreen, a company that uses sustainable methods to maintain lawns, has been expanding quickly, and its services are now available in many areas of the country. However, given the state of the economy in the Drawnville area, MowGreen would not be able to operate profitably there. Therefore, one can be sure that MowGreen will not expand its operations into the Drawnville area any time soon.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above?
A MowGreen's management team does not consider profitability in determining whether to expand into an area.
B People in the Drawnville area are not interested in using sustainable methods for maintaining their lawns.
C There are areas in the country where MowGreen is not currently operating into which it could profitably expand its operations.
D MowGreen operates profitably in all of the areas where it currently operates.
E Sustainable methods for maintaining lawns are generally more expensive than less environmentally friendly methods.

Breakdown of the argument:
Background: MowGreen has been expanding, and its services are available in many areas.
Premise: MowGreen would not be able to operate profitably in the Drawnville area.
Conclusion: One can be sure that MowGreen will not expand into the Drawnville area any time soon.
In drawing the conclusion, the author assumes that profitability affects MowGreen's expansion decisions. If this assumption were not true, the argument would fall apart.
So, which answer choice attacks this assumption?
(A) MowGreen's management team does not consider profitability in determining whether to expand into an area.
This choice attacks the author's assumption.
The argument relies on the connection between potential profitability and MowGreen's expansion decisions.
If MowGreen's management team does not consider profitability, then the argument falls apart.
After all, the premise no longer supports the conclusion.
Thus, this choice weakens the argument.

A. MowGreen's management team does not consider profitability in determining whether to expand into an area.
The conclusion assumes MowGreen will avoid Drawnville because it wouldn’t be profitable there. If management doesn’t base expansion decisions on profitability, that link collapses—so we can’t be “sure” they won’t expand.
