B) Most of the people who take standardized tests are unwilling to invest more than a modest amount in test preparation services.
C) Organizations that provide admissions advice are more likely to be profitable than companies that offer financial aid advice.
D) The number of students who prepare for college entrance exams is higher than the number of students who prepare for graduate entrance exams.
E) In the current test preparation market, only a few companies have greater than a ten percent market share.

ANSWER

Answer: A
Explanation: A) One of the key decisions for any business is selecting customers to serve. TestPrepWizard.com has chosen to focus on high-end private tutoring. As an online company, it is able to reach anyone with an Internet connection. If Choice A is true, and lots of potential customers live too far from tutors, then those customers would be more likely to be interested in Internet-based tutoring. So Choice A supports the decision. Choice B weakens the argument by suggesting that most people wouldn’t pay for expensive tutoring. Choice C is about admissions advice and financial aid advice, which are outside of the scope of the argument here. Choice D suggests that college entrance exams could be a good market, but that doesn’t tell us anything about the market for private tutoring. Choice E says that there aren’t many big players in the market, but that doesn’t tell us what customers want.
