Which of the following, if true, most undermines TestPrepWizard.com’s

QUESTION

Which of the following, if true, most undermines TestPrepWizard.com’s decision to focus on high-end private tutoring services?

A) Customers interested in test preparation services are increasingly likely to have used technology products in educational settings.
B) Many students require extensive assistance in order to achieve their score goals on entrance exams.
C) The market for high-end private tutoring services is especially competitive in urban areas.
D) The graduate admission test with the largest number of test takers is also the test with the lowest rates of test preparation.
E) Customers interested in high-end tutors will typically only hire a tutor recommended by a friend who has worked with that tutor.

ANSWER

Answer: E
Explanation: E) What most undermines the decision to go after the high-end tutoring market? If Choice E were true, and people insist on personal recommendations from someone who has used a tutor, then a new company would have a hard time breaking in. So Choice E weakens the argument. Choice A strengthens the argument by suggesting that technology won’t be a barrier. Choice B suggests that test prep is a good market but doesn’t tell us about high-end tutoring. Choice C says that the market is more competitive in urban areas, but as an online company, TestPrepWizard.com isn’t competing in just those areas. Choice D tells us about the market for prep for one test but doesn’t tell us about high-end tutoring.
