Resolve the paradox - Grockit.

Consumers used to purchase designer clothing because designer clothing was of better workmanship and was made of higher quality materials than was other clothing. However, with many high-end designers now producing low-cost capsule collections for mass market retailers, a designer label is no longer a guarantee that the clothing will be of higher quality than similarly priced non-designer clothing. Interestingly, however, designer clothing has become even more highly sought after in recent years.

The paradox described is best resolved by which of the following, if true?

A Consumers believe that a designer label assures them that the clothing to which that label is affixed is as high in quality as any similarly priced non-designer clothing.

B Many consumers are concerned about the possibility of sweatshop labor playing a role in the production of designer clothing.

C Successful designers sometimes license their names for use on collections that they actually play no role in creating.

D The internet makes it easier than ever for young designers to get exposure for their work and make a name for themselves.

E Designer collections sold at mass market retailers are often priced as reasonably as are similar non-designer goods sold at the same stores.



OA:[spoiler] A . When we say as high in quality as any similarly priced non-designer clothing how does it help resolve the paradox. Why is not E a better option?[/spoiler]

I also went for E. looks better. But in a way it is a trap. why the A is better is due to the fact that it is saying that even though the quality is no longer that high, it still = to non designer clothes

Expert opinion needed still! :)[/spoiler]

I Tend to predict my answers before i read the answer choices....

So the question stem talks about worksmanship,quality, Designer clothes , and how Designers have also started to look into mass production

Money was never an issue, they always went behind the quality. this is typically a cost/time trap !

A I would Keep this on the first ellimination.

A is the answer ( second ellimination)

B Sounds Funny

C Criteria for successful and non successful ( OOS)

D OOS

E Tricky, but consumer are sought after before mass production and after as well.
KILL !! DIE !! or BEAT my FEAR !!! de@D END!!
