Hi All,

Here OA is [spoiler]"C".[/spoiler] Can somebody please explain what is the problem with [spoiler]"D" and "E"[/spoiler] ? and how [spoiler]"C"[/spoiler] is better then [spoiler]"D" and "E"[/spoiler] ?

A recent survey found that more computers than copies of computer programs were purchased by Germans last year. The best interpretation of this finding is that the practice of illegally duplicating commercial computer programs is widespread among Germans.
Each of the following, if true, would counter some reasonable objection to the interpretation advanced above EXCEPT:

(A) Few German computer users write their own computer programs.
(B) There are few free noncommercial computer programs available in Germany.
(C) Some Germans purchase computers outside of Germany for use in Germany, and such purchases were counted in the survey.
(D) The typical German computer user has several commercially written computer programs on his or her computer.
(E) Many Germans legally make duplicates of commercial computer programs, but such duplicates were counted as purchased copies in the survey.

Thanks
Mohit

I downed to E

but even C is the answer,
C: - outside purchased computers are included in survey results, this means that results are exaggerated - it sounds like there are more computers purchased in the whole world than programs in Germany, thus germans are cheating on legal copies.

E - actually supports the conclusion IMO, because it states that all copies are counted and anyway the total number of computers is not equal to the number of copies.
seems like E is the answer

Can somebody explain it ?
we are the champions !

I am also of the opinion that "E" looks better then "C".

Experts please share your thoughts.

Thanks

The question really asking you which one DOES NOT support the argument. And C is the only one, all other 4 support the argument, which is "counter some reasonable objection to the interpretation advanced above"

1st question is asking which one doesn't counter any objection(which means support) and E is the only one(IMO) which supports, all others counter some objection
