Director of TalMart: Our company provides a 90-day without-question return policy on all products sold. Each month on an average, our outlets receive requests for returns on almost 20% of the sales made. It is clear that because of the ‘without question’ clause, our customers have no incentive to make wiser selections. If customers made better selections to begin with, then we would not see most of these products being returned.
Which of the following is required for the argument to hold?
A. A significant number of customers these days are aware of the return or exchange policy of the stores they make purchases from.
B Not all customers return products even when they are happy with the quality.
C Most of the customers returning the products return them because they later realise that these products are too expensive for them
D. Many customers come to the store to exchange the products but end up returning them instead.
E. The inherent quality of the products, a factor that the customers cannot successfully gauge at the time of buying, is often a reason for the frequent rate of returns.

Bunuel the question stem type is not clear "Which of the following is required for the argument to hold" ; never came across a question having such a stem..
what is the source of this question?
From the tagging its marked as assumption so based on that attempting ..
IC : company provides a 90-day without-question return policy on all products sold , and every month avg 20 % of sales return requests are received..
Conclusion : customers are aware of ‘without question’ clause and therefore have no need to think before buying and in case they did think so then most of these products being returned would not have been happening.
use negation technique :
A. A significant number of customers these days are not aware of the return or exchange policy of the stores they make purchases from. if this is the case then this weakens the conclusion of argument
B all customers return products even when they are happy with the quality. ; this does not weaken the conclusion
C Not all of the customers returning the products return them because they later realise that these products are too expensive for them ; not on the lines of the argument
D. Many customers come to the store to exchange the products but end up returning them instead. question is discussing about return only , exchange is not being discussed..
E. The inherent quality of the products, a factor that the customers can successfully gauge at the time of buying, is often a reason for the frequent rate of returns. ; if this is the case then why will return be done? does not weaken the conclusion
OPTION A

Which of the following is required for the argument to hold?
To summarize - passage tells that customers do not worry too much about making wise buying decisions given the there is a sizable return % of their products sold.
Reframed the question as - "which one of the below MUST BE TRUE"
A. A significant number of customers these days are aware of the return or exchange policy of the stores they make purchases from.
Let's keep - if this is true, yes, we can say that customers do not worry about making wise decisions ONLY since they know about the return/exchange policy.
B Not all customers return products even when they are happy with the quality.
Incorrect. We cannot certainly say ALL customers return products despite being happy.
C Most of the customers returning the products return them because they later realise that these products are too expensive for them
Incorrect. No mention of price / affordability of products. So it need not be true.
D. Many customers come to the store to exchange the products but end up returning them instead.
Incorrect. Again, no mention of split between how much is returned/exchanged. Cannot be properly inferred.
E. The inherent quality of the products, a factor that the customers cannot successfully gauge at the time of buying, is often a reason for the frequent rate of returns.
Interesting choice. But the last part says that this is 'often the reason for frequent rate of returns' which again cannot be definitely be inferred. Hence incorrect.
Hence A.
