Therapists find that treatment of those people who seek help because they are unable to stop smoking or overeating is rarely successful. From these experiences, therapists have concluded that such habits are intractable, and success in breaking them is rare. As surveys show, millions of people have dropped the habit of smoking, and many people have successfully managed a substantial weight loss.
If all of the statements are correct, an Explanation of their apparent contradiction is provided by the hypothesis that
A. there have been some successes in therapy, and those successes were counted in the surveys
B. it is easier to stop smoking than it is to stop overeating
C. it is easy to break the habits of smoking and overeating by exercising willpower
D. the group of people selected for the survey did not include those who failed to break their habits even after therapy
E. those who succeed in curing themselves do not go for treatment and so are not included in the therapists' data
OA: E
I confused over D and E.
In D, the only unwanted thing is that they mentioned "the group of people" instead of actual number.
Can someone explain in detail that how e is better than d?
