A. Sales of the catalogue are not expected to generate more in revenue than publishing the catalogue will cost.
Incorrect. Profitability of the catalogue does not help show that listed businesses will gain customers.

B. Many businesses that follow fair labor practices vary the stringency with which they adhere to those practices in response to changes in the availability of labor.
Incorrect. This concerns inconsistency in labor practices, which may even weaken confidence in the catalogue.

C. For many services, such as construction, following fair labor practices results in a different work structure with a correspondingly different utility for the customer.
Incorrect. Different utilities for customers do not directly show that the catalogue will increase customer bases.

D. For many types of industries listed in the catalogue, all the businesses operating in Costaguana follow fair labor practices.
Incorrect. If all businesses in many industries already qualify, then the catalogue gives consumers little basis to shift purchases within those industries. This weakens the claim.

E. Within numerous types of industries, there are many companies that follow fair labor practices, although they do nothing to advertise this fact.
Correct. If many such businesses currently do not advertise this fact, the catalogue gives new information that can help consumers find them, making it more likely their customer base will increase.

The town of Costaguana has many residents who are committed to supporting businesses that follow fair labor practices. Soon these consumers will be assisted in identifying such businesses by a catalogue published by the Humanitarian Society of Costaguana. The catalogue offers a comprehensive listing, by industry and company name, of businesses in Costaguana that follow fair labor practices. Therefore, publication of the catalogue will almost certainly increase the customer base of such businesses in Costaguana.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

A. Sales of the catalogue are not expected to generate more in revenue than publishing the catalogue will cost.
B. Many businesses that follow fair labor practices vary the stringency with which they adhere to those practices in response to changes in the availability of labor.
C. For many services, such as construction, following fair labor practices results in a different work structure with a correspondingly different utility for the customer.
D. For many types of industries listed in the catalogue, all the businesses operating in Costaguana follow fair labor practices.
E. Within numerous types of industries, there are many companies that follow fair labor practices, although they do nothing to advertise this fact.
