the threatened prosecution of businesses flying 20 by 38 foot garrison flags, which are traditionally to be flown on national holidays, instead of the smaller post flags which can be flown at any time, is unconscionable. Legal technicalities of this sort should never restrict patriotic expression.
which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the argument above?
A) many people find that the garrison flags' size to be distracting and ill suited to neighborhood aesthetics.
B) The businesses that are flying garrison flags do so primarily to attract customers.
C) The raising and lowering of different-sized flags on the correct days of the year is a laborious and time-consuming procedure.
D) The regulations that govern the correct display of the nation's flags are part of an old and time-honored tradition
E) The symbolic significance of a flag's size is not generally understood by most of the customers patronizing these businesses
The answer book say's it's (B) but I don't see how that is possible. Maybe my eeeneemene brain can't comprehend this but I just thought the argument assumes that people can't tell the difference.
