This question always throws me off, because I end up forgetting that the conclusion is that there is reason to be skeptical about the conclusion drawn in the magazine's survey and instead begin to think that the conclusion has something to do with showing the financial magazine's survey to be false. Promoting skepticism has a far lighter burden of proof than proving falsity. Answers (A) through (D), though fallacious, are reasons to be skeptical of the conclusion of the survey. I chose (E) because it seemed the most irrelevant: not only does it randomly expand the scope of the survey, the other surveys did not address the financial magazine's conclusion in which North Americans were MORE concerned with personal finances than about politics; thus these other surveys don't even provide a reason to be skeptical of the financial magazine's survey - you can't even compare these conclusions.
