Tooten County is populated by a significantly lower percentage of young families than the typical county in the nation. Yet, per capita retail sales of children's bicycles are above the national average.

Which of the following, if true, best reconciles the seeming paradox described above?

The two leading retailers of children's bicycles in Tooten County spend a remarkable 50% of their marketing budget on attracting residents of neighboring counties.
A local manufacturer of children's bicycles has just announced that national sales are up 20% over last year.
Retail outlets in Tooten County import the majority of their children's bicycles from Canada.
Elementary schools in Tooten County continue to promote the values of exercise to its students.
Residents of Tooten County rent children's bicycles as about the same rate as residents of other counties in the nation.

Here is what the argument tells us Tooten County has fewer young families (fewer families with young children) than other counties. Even so, they manage to sell more children's cycles than the other cities.

What could be the reason here? They don't have many children in their County, yet their bicycle sales are very high. So bicycle sales must not be restricted to Tooten alone, they must be selling the bicycles to other counties too.

Option A tells us this. The biggest retailers market their bicycles to the neighboring counties. So children from neighboring counties and children from Tooten are buying their bicycles.

Option B doesn't help reconcile the paradox at all.

Option C would have been an excellent choice had they said Tooten County exported to Canada. But they import bicycles. This doesn't help us explain why their sales are higher than the national average.

Option D doesn't say anything about elementary schools in other counties. Suppose they too are promoting values of exercise?

Option E confuses us even more. It brings in extra information about renting bicycles when we want to know about bicycle sales. Unnecessary. Ignore.

Hope this helps!
