Several recent studies establish that most people would want to be informed if they had any serious medical condition. In each study, over 80 percent of the peope surveyed indicated that they would want to be told.
Each of the following, if true, weakens the argument EXCEPT:
A) In another recent study, most of the people surveyed indicated that they would not want to be told if they had a serious medical condition
B) People often do not indicate their true feelings when responding to surveys
C) Some of the researchers conducting the studies had no background in medicine
D) Some questions asked in the studies suggested that reasonable people would want to be told if they had a serious medical condition
E) The people surveyed in the studies were all young students in introductory psychology courses.

e cannot be choice because it would mean that the sample for the survey is biased. One cannot make a conclusion about "most people" from a sample of only young people.

Ahh!!! Good call. I totally missed that. THe OA is C.
leaning more towards D...can some explain why D is not it...
I guess C is totally irrelevant so it doesnt weaken the argument...I understand that..but D to me seemed to directly strengthen the argument by saying reasonable people would want to hear about it...
D attacks the survey by saying that the survey was skewed and the conclusion drawn from such a skewed survey is not correct. So it does weaken the argument
