A demand for articles by internet sites that promote consumer products became apparent to the founder of a text-editing software company. The founder decided to supply a solution to the demand, and initiated the development of a feature that could condense and summarize a lengthy article, creating a version that was far less wordy, and more to the point, making it more practical for being published on internet web pages. Although at first welcomed by the managers of the sites, the feature proved to be disadvantageous.
Which of the following, if true, does the most to explain why the founder's solution was unsuccessful?
A The feature was an addition to an existing text-editing program, but one that the company demanded an extra payment for.
B Soon after the feature was released, competing software companies began to develop programs that could perform similar tasks
C People that search for specific information on internet pages always prefer the text to be presented in a form that is easy-to-read and well-organized.
D Text-processing algorithms have a reputation of creating broken results fraught with grammatical errors, but in practice recent models were not shown to be any less effective than human content editors.
E Conciseness is an important characteristic of text that appears on internet pages although marketing pieces rely heavily on descriptive and sometimes elaborate wording
