Resolve the Paradox

by gmatmachoman » Sat Sep 19, 2009 11:02 am
Of all the photographs taken of him at his wedding there was one that John and his friends sharply disagreed about. His friends all said that this particular picture did not much resemble him, but John said that on the contrary it was the only photograph that did.

Which one of the following, if true, about the photograph most helps to explain John's disagreement with his friends?

(A) It, unlike the other photographs of John, showed him in the style of dress he and his friends usually wear rather than the formal clothes he wore at the ceremony.
(B) It was the only photograph taken of John at his wedding for which the photographer had used a flash.
(C) It was a black-and-white photograph, whereas the other photographs that showed John were mostly color photographs.
(D) It was unique in showing John's face reflected in a mirror, the photographer having taken the photograph over John's shoulder.
(E) It was one of only a few taken at the wedding that showed no one but John

The answer should be D.
The argument is based on the inability of John's freinds to recognize his face, whereas John says its him. D explains that.
