Critical Reasoning

Guys, this is an old Q. Some of you might have solved it already.
I'm having trouble in Eliminating A. Can someone help me with that.

A greater number of newspapers are sold in Town S than in Town T. Therefore, the citizens of Town S are better informed about major world events than are the citizens of Town T.

Each of the following, if true, weakens the conclusion above EXCEPT

(A) Town S has a larger population than Town T.
(B) Most citizens of Town T work in Town S and buy their newspapers there.
(C) The average citizen of Town S spends less time reading newspapers than does the average citizen of Town T.
(D) A weekly newspaper restricted to the coverage of local events is published in Town S.
(E) The average newsstand price of newspapers sold in Town S in lower than the average price of
newspapers sold in Town T.

As per OG explanation: both A & E help us to understand why the sale is higher in town S. Then, why E is considered as a OA, but not A.
Please give it a shot.

Town S has a larger population in town T. This is an additional premise to the premise given in the statement that more number of papers are sold in town S than in town T. If a statement weakens or doesn't weaken the argument it should attack the conclusion.

This statement does not effect the conclusion in any manner.

Statement E on the other hand is in support of the conclusion. So in WeakenX question is the right answer.

A weakens BC higher pop does not mean people are reading newspaper vice versa.
