IMO D

If only early buyers quit buying videos it doesnot mean that it will affect the majority of market. So, even if the market is saturated most of the people will still buy the videos.

OA pls?

I am not sure I understood your explanation. Can you please elaborate on how early buyers' behaviour seriously weakens the conclusion of the argument?

Wht is the oa?

I selected B thinking tht if there r many films specially requiring a video recorder to watch, then the distributers won't go out of business.

Vemuri, i think that among all the answer choices D is the best.
i am not sure how D is weakening the argument but it is the best choice among all. I would like experts to explain how D is weakening the argument.
in B, it says that distributors have video related cassettes only, i mean everything is video related and for that video player is to be used. so it indirectly supports the argument..

Hi

My understanding

Total number of people buying recorders = 1000
First time buyers(Who according to the passage will lose interest fast) = 200

So these First time buyers do not buy videos,But the rest 800 will still buy videos rt?

more suggestions if possible :roll:

Move on. The question stem and answer choices are barely in English, and are full of mistakes - it's not worthwhile material to study. I can't make sense of the first sentence, which is a pretty serious problem. What's the source?

I must admit that D seems to be the answer. What's OA?
