Hi,
Please answer this "weaken" question . I will provide 2 options , since others can be easily eliminated.
Converting vinyl records to CD or other digital formats makes little sense.Vinyl records produce a more natural sound than do their digital counterparts, since the latter use computer code to store and reproduce audio signals. Since human ears are , in fact ,analog hearing devices , music enthusiasts will get the most realistic listening experience if they switch from CD's to vinyl records.
Q: Which of the following, if true, would do most to weaken the above statements ?
(A) Most people who listen to music do not have access to high-end sound systems.
(B) Many individuals are unable to discern any difference in fidelity between digital and analog music sources.
First of all, which is the main conclusion ? The first sentence or the last sentence ? And why ?
The answer given is (A) . The explanation given : The author assumes that people will have regular access to the vinyl recording equipment. If opt(A) were true, it negates the assumption.
So option(A) is right. option (B) , though it may have some bearing on the argument , but this option is not as strong as option (A).
Now how am I supposed to know which is stronger ? Both seem fine .
Please explain.
