Critical Reasoning

The Green Peas Grocery Store in the remote wealthy enclave of Luxville charges more than the Green Peas Grocery Store in Oak City charges for the same items. Clearly, on any given item, the Green Peas grocery franchise is taking advantage of its location in Luxville to reap higher profits on that item.

In evaluating the argument, it would be most useful to compare

A) The selection of specialty items in the Oak City location with the selection of specialty items in the Luxville location
B) The cost of transporting merchandise to the Oak City location with the comparable cost to the Luxville location
C) The average cost of the same or comparable items at other grocery stores in Oak City with the average cost at other stores in Luxville
D) The percent of average household income spent on groceries in Oak city with the comparable percentage in Luxville
E) The cost of these items in Oak City and in Luxville with the cost at other Green Peas stores throughout the state.
