At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Consumer: I would like to have the features contained in the latest upgrade to your computer software package, but I am leery of installing the upgrade because a friend has told me he had a problem with it.
Company representative: We have distributed nearly 3,000 copies of the upgrade and we have received fewer than 100 calls saying that it has caused problems. So it is very unlikely that you will experience any problems with the upgrade.
The reasoning in the company representative’s argument is most vulnerable to criticism because it fails to consider the possibility that
(A) the company will issue another upgrade that correct the problems with the current upgrade
(B) some of the problems people have experienced with the upgrade have been quite serious
(C) a significant number of people have experienced problems with the upgrade but have not reported them
(D) the consumer will experience software problems if the upgrade is not installed
(E) some of the reported problems were a result of users failing to follow instructions

The company representative is saying that it's unlikely the user will have problems because a low proportion of other users have called in to report problems.
(a) is irrelevant to the likelihood of experiencing problems
(b) we are not concerned with the seriousness of the problems, only the likelihood that they will occur
(c) yes, this directly weakens the relationship between "a low proportion of other users have called in to report problems" and "it's unlikely the user will have problems". What if 2,000 users had problems but only 100 reported them?
(d) the argument is concerned with "experiencing any problems with the upgrade", not any problems in general. What happens if the upgrade is not installed is not relevant.
(e) whether or not the problems are a result of a failure to follow instructions is irrelevant to the likelihood that the problems will occur (without any other information)
(c) is correct

The reasoning in the company representative’s argument is most vulnerable to criticism because it fails to consider the possibility that
(A) the company will issue another upgrade that correct the problems with the current upgrade It will fix issue so no criticism here
(B) some of the problems people have experienced with the upgrade have been quite serious still the number is low so cannot be considered
(C) a significant number of people have experienced problems with the upgrade but have not reported them Correct. The statistics say that 3000 installed and less than 100 have reported the issues. the numbers are not appropriate because most who have experienced problems have not reported
(D) the consumer will experience software problems if the upgrade is not installed strengthens the argument for company rep
(E) some of the reported problems were a result of users failing to follow instructions strengthens the argument for company rep
IMO C
