I am unable to understand the OA D. My confusion is that the argument conclusion is taling abou "many customers"and OA is talking about "occasional purchasers". The two terms are not synchronised.
I feel that had it been regarding the revenues, the OA would have made sense.
Clarify??
"Occasional purchasers" are simply people who do not buy wine
regularly. Who is buying Mourdet's most popular wine? Maybe a significant portion of the sales come from
occasional purchasers (i.e. they don't buy wine regularly, but when they do, they go for the one with the distinctive tall, black bottle).
When they say, "
many customers intending to buy our wine," they could certainly be referring to occasional wine purchasers. Even if occasional wine purchasers accounted for, say, a quarter of total sales, that group could still qualify as "many customers" (note the use of "many", not "all" or "most").
Also, we are only talking about "customers
intending to buy our wine." So we are only looking at the subset of wine shoppers who intend to buy Mourdet wine. That doesn't necessarily constitute a large portion of ALL wine shoppers. Perhaps most customers intending to buy Mourdet wines are, in fact, occasional wine purchasers.
There is nothing incongruous about "occasional purchasers" and "many customers intending to buy our wine", so (D) is the best answer.
I hope that helps!
