QUESTION

Which of the following, if true, suggests that the less expensive clothing lines would damage the sales of the designers’ high-end fashions?

A) Some designers of less expensive furniture have done business under a different name when producing high-end furniture.
B) The clothing lines designed for women are, on average, more expensive than those designed for men.
C) The media outlets chosen to advertise the less expensive versions would be different from those chosen for the high-end versions.
D) The vast majority of people who would purchase the less expensive clothing lines would not even be aware of the existence of the more expensive versions.
E) Purchasers of high-end fashion believe that no worthwhile designer would attempt to sell to a wide audience.

ANSWER

Answer: E
Explanation: E) Which choice suggests that the less expensive designs would damage high-end sales? If Choice E were true, then high-end buyers believe designers who sell to a wide audience cannot be worthwhile. So if Choice E is true, selling the cheaper designs is a big problem for high-end sales. Choice A discusses furniture, not clothing, and has the relationship reversed, too. In Choice A, the designers start with less expensive versions. Choice B distinguishes women’s clothing from men’s clothing but tells us nothing about the threat to high-end sales. Choices C and D, if anything, go the other way by suggesting that the communications would be separated between the lines.
