A recent survey found that more computers than copies of computer programs were purchased by Germans last year. The best interpretation of this finding is that the practice of illegally duplicating commercial computer programs is widespread among Germans.
Each of the following, if true, would counter some reasonable objection to the interpretation advanced above EXCEPT:
(A) Few German computer users write their own computer programs.
(B) There are few free noncommercial computer programs available in Germany.
(C) Some Germans purchase computers outside of Germany for use in Germany, and such purchases were counted in the survey.
(D) The typical German computer user has several commercially written computer programs on his or her computer.
(E) Many Germans legally make duplicates of commercial computer programs, but such duplicates were counted as purchased copies in the survey.

Each of the following, if true, would counter some reasonable objection to the interpretation advanced above EXCEPT:

(A) Few German computer users write their own computer programs.
Incorrect : This implies that they are illegally duplicating

(B) There are few free noncommercial computer programs available in Germany.
Incorrect : - Same as A -

(C) Some Germans purchase computers outside of Germany for use in Germany, and such purchases were counted in the survey.
Incorrect : if true,would invalidate the survey and its conclusion that germans copy computer programs.

(D) The typical German computer user has several commercially written computer programs on his or her computer.
Incorrect : This one clearly supports the conclusion

(E) Many Germans legally make duplicates of commercial computer programs, but such duplicates were counted as purchased copies in the survey.
Incorrect : Irrelevant

The Question stem asks us to find which of following statements donot counter the objection to the conclusion i.e do not strengthen..

1 ) As few computers use their own programs, most of the other use commercial programs. --> strengthens..


2) As few non commercial programs are avialable, most of the other are commercial programs - ---> strengthens..


3) correct answer.. It says some of the computers were bought outside the country but counted in the survery.
So actually less number of computers were bought -----> weakens.. ie donot strengthen.. HOLD IT
4) If one German computer has several commercial programs, then the sale of the programs shud be more --------> strengthens

5) though the legal copies are counted towards purchase,
i.e the sale of the commercial programs is even less ---> strengthens..

imo C
