NewTech clothes dryers, a new line of dryers that uses 1/3 the energy of traditional dryers, recently took over as the leading dryer—in terms of the number of units sold—in the nation of Imperia. This season, NewTech is expanding into the nation of Sumonia, producing 10,000 units for sale in the country. The company believes that the NewTech dryer will quickly sell out in Sumonia, leading the company to export more units before year’s end.


Which of the following, if true, suggests that NewTech’s dryers will not sell as well in Sumonia as the company expects?

[A] Some companies that have released dryers in Sumonia have not always realized quick profits.
[B] The population density of Sumonia is far less than that of Imperia, though Sumonia, because of its large size, is almost as populous as Imperia.
[C] There are only a few manufacturers who currently export dryers to Sumonia.
[D] The capital city of Sumonia is notorious for crime and there are many reported muggings each day.
[E] Because of the frigid climate in Sumonia, citizens wear almost exclusively woolen clothing, which cannot be put in a dryer without becoming ruined.

can you explain why the correct option is [E]?


You must weaken the argument. And you need to buy a dryer because you use it. If it is unuseful why you need to buy out a new one ??

Because you use clothes (the clients) which cannot be dryer into the machine, otherwise they are ruined.

E tells you this

[E] Because of the frigid climate in Sumonia, citizens wear almost exclusively woolen clothing, which cannot be put in a dryer without becoming ruined.

Notice how this is NOT a good question because the company assumes to sell a certain number of dryers. However, in the conclusion, the company BELIEVES and what is believed by the company0s board maybe is quite different from what is the reality in the market of that specific country. Not enough information.

The customers could buy the machine for other reasons than the specific clothes mentioned.

Hi Sir Carcass for these types of questions my average timing is coming out to 1:30 , is it too high ? for reading I am taking 30-40 sec and rest for the question.

And is it good strategy to read the question before reading the passage ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

your time is slightly below the average, which is 1.45 for CR, therefore it is quite good

Please refer to my guide on time management which is detailed in every aspect

Straight E.

They do not need a dryer. Notice that the material from Magoosh is not the top for training especially on the verbal side.
