Consumer Advocate: Your company continues to advertise its product as “all natural” and “organic” despite the fact that you feed your livestock grain laced with growth hormone. This practice indicates your willingness to deceive your customers.
Company Representative: Because we have a long history of manufacturing excellent products, customers trust our brand and the strategies we use to market it.
Point is - advocate asked question on "willingness to deceive your customers"; Company Representative did not give reply to this.
The company representative’s response to the consumer advocate’s charge is flawed because it
A. assumes without justification that a long history of manufacturing excellent products leads consumers to trust a company
It is not assumption made by Company Representative.
a long history of manufacturing excellent products might / might not lead consumers to trust a company.
The flaw is not concerned about it.Wrong.B. fails to address whether the company’s practices are intended to deceive its customers
It corresponds to the point.
CORRECT.
C. does not mention other marketing strategies employed by the company
Irrelevant.
D. simply rejects the consumer advocate’s argument without providing any reason to do so
Its not rejection, instead diversion of topics that CR (Company Representative) provided.
E. treats the consumer advocate’s assertion that using terms such as “all natural” and “organic” as inconsistent with manufacturing quality products
No mention.
