Buyer's remorse is the feeling experienced when one decides to purchase an item, often of great value, only to later regret making that decision. This feeling can occur when the purchased item becomes undesirable or when the buyer realizes that the same item could have been purchased at a lower price. A consumer who purchased a new car last month has recently discovered that the same model is now being sold for $10,000 less than at the time of purchase. Despite a need for the car at the time, the consumer must be experiencing buyer's remorse.

Which of the following is an assumption upon which the argument depends?


A. The consumer no longer finds the car purchased last month to be desirable.

B. A need for an item cannot lessen any feelings of regret that may arise about the purchase.

C. The consumer did not expect the price of the car purchased last month to drop as soon as it did.

D. When the consumer purchased the car, several less expensive cars were available that would have met the consumer's needs just as well.

E. On other occasions, the consumer has regretted purchasing items that were later discovered on sale for less than the consumer paid.

Why is E incorrect? Only because it talks about other ocassions doesn't necessarily mean its not relevant, after all the situations are very similar and following the situation the consumer regretted, so it could be possible that the consumer regrets this time too. Maybe "must be true" test can help eliminate this choice Bunuel
