It should be D
The sample is not representative of all people

I believe the OA should be D. I also believe that this question sucks.

"A study of the real estate industry, however, revealed that the current supply of homes could only provide for 65% of that demand each year."

Here, "that" is clearly referring to the 85% of the magazine's readers. It's not saying that the industry can only provide for 65% of the nation's population, but that it can only provide for 65% of the readers. Therefore, the statistic is completely representative of the market.


For simplicity's sake, let's use real numbers:

Assume that there are 100 magazine readers. 85 want a second home. The industry can only provide 55 houses. Obviously there is still a shortage, and investing in real estate can still be a good idea.


...Stupid GMAT; it tests anaphors in SC, but can't even create a proper antecedant in CR. :roll:

IMO C here

I guess D is strengthen the argument. If reader are more likely want to buy house then it strengthen the argument

Does anyone has OA?

8. Which of the following, if true, reveals a weakness in the evidence cited above?

(B) Home builders are not evenly distributed across the country.
(C) The number of people who want second homes has been increasing each year for the past ten years.
(D) Readers of House magazine are more likely than most people to want second homes.
(E) House magazine includes articles about owning a second home as well as articles about building a second home.

It could very well be the case that only readers of magazine are intending to buy homes and not others...So, if only readers are gonna buy more homes, then the 65% of the demand can be met for the readers of the magazine and not for other people.... So, if this is d case, then there is no point in investing in real estate...

It is an issue of representativeness of the survey.
Magazine surveyed those people who are more inclined to buy second house. That is why there is a contrast in the two results.

Another good answer could be:

The study encompassed those real estate dealers who do not have many housing projects.
