News anchor: The average resident of the state’s four major cities drives 150 miles per month, and most of the state’s residents live in these four cities. Moreover, the average distance driven by the residents of the state tends to remain stable from one month to the next. Therefore, most of the state’s residents drive at least 100 miles each month.
The argument presented by the news anchor is most susceptible to which of the following criticisms?
A. It reaches a conclusion for the entire state on the basis of data from just four cities.
B. It fails to consider the possibility that even if, on average, a certain distance is driven by the people within a certain group, many of those in the group may not drive at all.
C. It confuses a claim that would necessarily lead to the argument’s conclusion about the state’s residents with a claim that would only be highly likely to follow from the argument’s conclusion regarding the state’s residents.
D. It ignores the possibility that the residents of the cities may be driving outside of city limits.
E. It fails to consider the possibility that even if most residents of the state drive at least 100 miles each month, any given resident may not drive at all in some months.

state has four major cities.
now most of states residents live in these four cities and avg resident of four cities drives 150 miles per month.
avg distance by states residents remain stable from month to month.
conclusion- most of states residents drive at least 100 miler/month.
arguments jumps from speed of residents of four cities to speed of residents of state.
A. It reaches a conclusion for the entire state on the basis of data from just four cities.
as i said earlier, the conclusion has been made on the data of only 4 cities. this states the same thing. keep it.
B. It fails to consider the possibility that even if, on average, a certain distance is driven by the people within a certain group, many of those in the group may not drive at all.
but to reduce the avg to 100, we need significantly more people from these group to pull that.
C. It confuses a claim that would necessarily lead to the argument’s conclusion about the state’s residents with a claim that would only be highly likely to follow from the argument’s conclusion regarding the state’s residents.
irrelevant
D. It ignores the possibility that the residents of the cities may be driving outside of city limits.
who cares? irrelevant here. reject.
E. It fails to consider the possibility that even if most residents of the state drive at least 100 miles each month, any given resident may not drive at all in some months.
but that doesnt drop the avg if those people dont drive in some month. reject.

IMO it is B.
The question is about averages.
With averages driving at 150 overall avg does NOT mean that all of them are driving at atleast 100 each month.
You could have most people driving at 0km (or not at all) and just a few driving at 500km or more (no limit) to push the average to 150.
Option B clearly indicates the flaw with the reasoning there.
