The stimulus tells us radio alone is enough to get the highest possible name recognition. It does not tell us anything about votes. There will always be candidates with high name recognition who do not get the most votes. Name recognition simply means awareness, not liking or approval.

E is incorrect because it changes the meaning. The original tells us that the economy caused the poor sales figures. E tells us that the government took action as a result of the poor sales figures. A amd B are tricky, but I prefer putting "as a result" closer to "sales figures" ...

The stimulus tells us that the researchers are concluding that when a county has more TV sets, the residents stay indoors more often.

Try backsolving this one.
The dosage grew from 15 to 43 units, therefore the incremental dose on the last day was 28 units.
This means the total number of days in the study minus one (allowing the start day) has to be a factor of 28. Looking at our answer choices, only B works.
