Working professionals aged between 35 and 45 are more likely to purchase the latest gadgets and are more likely to purchase it in larger numbers than are teenagers or young adults. - FACT
Therefore the popular belief that teenagers and young adults spend more time with smart-phones, tablets, and other gadgets must be false. - CONCLUSION.
Pre-Thinking : We can clearly author mentioned purchasing for one age group but talked about spending time with those gadgets for the other age group, keeping no connection between the two.
Quote:
The argument is flawed primarily because the author (A) Does not specify the precise number of gadgets purchased by any demographic group. - It has no impact to the why the argument is flawed.
(B) Discusses gadgets rather than more widely utilized tools. - Irrelevant
(C) It depends on popular belief rather than on documented research findings. - It doesn't depend on belief rather on Fact.
(D) Fails to distinguish between “purchasing” and “spending time with”. - In line with pre-thinking. Seems valid.
(E) Does not supply information about working professionals aged 35 to 45. - We don't need any other information about that age group.
