A recent tracking survey has shown that the vast majority of users of Haplosoft's new text-editing software ignored the recommended tutorial that comes with the software. Some representatives of Haplosoft's marketing team expressed concern that the company would need to develop more attention-grabbing tutorial materials, or else users would fail to know how best to use the software. However, their concerns were assuaged when a Haplosoft engineer pointed out that ___________________.


Which of the following best completes the passage?

A. most users look to the software to accomplish a limited range of tasks because that is all they know how to do.
B. the software packaging contains an instruction manual, which has most of the same content as the tutorial.
C. the tutorial is based on a rewritten version of specifications given to the marketing team by Haplosoft's engineers.
D. the tutorial contains information standard to most text-editing software and with which most users are already familiar.
E. historically, very few users have contacted Haplosoft's technical support line with questions about how to use the text editor.

Source: Grockit

clear D is the winner.
marketers panic, but engineers say - get your s... together boys, tutorials are not important.
E though is close, and so is B.
