Paint-O advertisement:
Our Eco-paint line of paint products has the fewest volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of all our paints. Consequently, our Eco-paint is one of the most ecologically responsible paint lines on the market today.

Which of the following, if true, most weakens the argument in above advertisement?


(A) The Environmental Protection Agency listed many other paints with more VOCs than Eco-paint.

(B) In recent months, Paint-O has sold more Eco-paint than it sold any of its other lines of paint.

(C) Paint products made by Paint-O generally have more VOCs than paint products made by other companies.

(D) White and red paints usually have more VOCs than other colors.

(E) Paint-O introduces a new line of paint products every six months

OA is C
i would love an Expert to re check this because I have a problem with the OA. Expert please. Thanks

Option A - INCORRECT.
The Environmental Protection Agency listed many other paints with more VOCs than Eco-paint. Meaning Eco- paints has being singled out and accredited among all other paints to have less VOCs in all their paint production.

Option B - INCORRECT.
In recent months, Paint-O has sold more Eco-paint than it sold any of its other lines of paint. This recent sales in Eco- paint is due to the uniqueness it has compared to other paints, Also Eco-paint is one of the most ecologically responsible paint lines on the market today.

Option C - CORRECT.
This option has mostly weaken the argument in the advertisement. Paint products made by Paint-O generally have ''Less'' and not ''more'' VOCs than paint products made by other companies. However, this is more reason why Paint - O has gain more grounds in the market space, meanwhile its newest production Eco - paint that contains less VOCs is fast selling now than paints made by other companies.

Option D - INCORRECT.
White and red paints usually have more VOCs than other colors, if produced by other paint companies. No matter the color of paints produced by Paint -O they all contain less VOCs.

Option E - INCORRECT.
Paint-O introduces a new line of paint products every six months and this is more reason the company is fast growing and well recognized by the paint market as the best dealer in all kind of paint.
