The GMAT is written in English. However, the average score

[BTGmoderatorDC]

The GMAT is written in English. However, the average score of native English speakers is below 550, which is considered a relatively low score on a scale of 200-800.

Which of the following does LEAST to resolve the above paradox?

A) The GMAT does not test English knowledge but skills such as analytical skills and logic.
B) The GMAT includes a quantitative section, which tests mathematical skills.
C) GMAT scores are calculated to create a bell-shaped normal Gaussian distribution, so scores are relative to others' performance.
D) The GMAT has a severe time limit, and for many test takers, time ends before they have solved all the questions.
E) About 60% of GMAT test-takers are American.

We need to find the most unhelpful statement to the paradox.
Premise: The average score of native English speakers is below 550, which is considered to be low on a scale of 200 - 800.
Logical gap:
- Is it possible that GMAT, which is written in English, has a negative effect on native English speakers?
- It is quite contradictory that most English speakers have less than 550 even when the questions are communicated to them in English.

Option A - Incorrect
The argument is not about some specific skills. The GMAT mentioned in the argument refers to all its sections.

Option B - Incorrect
The qualitative section might be a bit difficult for the native English speakers; hence, the low score.

Option C - Incorrect
This provides a logical explanation for the low score of the Native English speakers.

Option D - Incorrect
Not being able to solve all the questions due to time factor might also be the reason for the low score.

Option E - Correct
The argument will remain unsolved because Americans are native English speakers.
