Photon city is known for its commerce colleges across the nation. However, it seems that the quality of education imparted at these colleges has deteriorated considerably with time. When commerce graduates living in Photon city were recently administered a test, most of them could not even answer simple questions such as what was meant by activity based costing.
The argument is most vulnerable to the criticism that:
(A) it incorrectly assumes that all commerce graduates have to be aware of what is meant by activity based costing .
(B) it makes no distinction between commerce graduates living in Photon city and those who have graduated from commerce colleges in Photon city.
(C) it does not take other important skills such as interpersonal skills and communication skills into consideration.
(D) it provides no details about how commerce graduates in the rest of the country have performed on this test.
(E) it does not take into account the education policies of the government.

The right answer here is B. It is asking us how the argument can be made vulnerable so we are essentially looking to weaken the conclusion, which is that "the quality of education imparted at these colleges has deteriorated considerably with time".
A - Even if this were true, it does not indicate to us that this makes the argument weaker as a whole. OUT
B - This certainly makes the argument weaker. If those living in Photon city are from outside, we cannot make the claim that the quality has dropped in the unis, since we aren't testing people from those unis. CORRECT
C - This is irrelevant. Our conclusion is about whether the quality of education has dropped. Interpersonal and communication skills are not part of this purview. OUT
D - This is tempting, but we don't need to actually know how others did. Even Photon turns out to be better than everywhere else, that still doesn't make the education GOOD. Remember, the existence of genocide doesn't suddenly make murder a good thing. OUT
E - This does not matter. We only care about educational quality outcomes. OUT

B.
Commerce graduate living in city were tested.
But that doesn't mean they have graduated from same city.
They might have graduated from some different college located in another city.
