Spending on clothes in this country increased by 35% from 1970 to 1990. Over the same period, however, revenue from clothing sales actually made instores, whether retail or wholesale, only increased by 20% and most of that increase took place in national chain departmental stores.
Based on the above statements, which of the following is the most reasonable conclusion about the period from 1970 to 1990
A. There was an increase in spending on clothes that were purchased thru alternate channels, such as thru the mail or over the phone.
B. Spending on clothes decreased in those stores that were not national chain department stores
C. The spending increase was not caused by people buying more clothes, but by an increase in clothing prices, both in retail stores and in wholesale outlets.
D. Most of the increase in spending on clothing was the result of an increase in sales of high price items to a relatively small number of people.
E. Most of the clothing sales that did not take place in stores were made thru the mail order divisions of national department stores.

There is a possibility that spending on clothes were done mostly through some other channel and not instores. That is why revenues are not equal to spendings for instores.

Both A & E seem correct since both mention alternative channels.
But E seems more reasonable.
IMO E

Between A and E, A addressed the gap -that spending might have been on alternate routes. Where as, E says that alternate spending were made through X and Y.
As spending might also have been on Y and Z , IMO A
