A mail order company recently had a big jump in clothing sales after hiring a copywriter and a graphic artist to give its clothing catalog a magazinelike format designed to appeal to a more upscale clientele. The company is now planning to launch a housewares catalog using the same concept.
The company's plan assumes that
(A) other housewares catalogs with magazinelike formats do not already exist
(B) an upscale clientele would be interested in a housewares catalog
(C) the same copywriter and graphic artist could be employed for both the clothing and housewares catalogs
(D) a magazinelike format requires a copywriter and a graphic artist
(E) customers to whom the old clothing catalog appealed would continue to make purchases from catalogs with the new format

I can see why B is correct. Whats wrong with E?

'B' is correct because the clothing sales had a big jump after the clothing catalog was given a magazine like format that appealed to a more upscale clientele. The argument assumes that improving the housewares catalog would give same result i.e. appeal to a more upscale clientele.

I still feel B should be the answer.
