I've had a tough time doing this.

An analysis of the XO Candy Corporation divided its products into two categories: chocolate-based candies and non-chocolate-based candies. The analysis shows that, unlike the non-chocolate candies, few chocolate candies sold enough units to be profitable. Nevertheless, stopping production of the unprofitable chocolate candies will not necessarily make the entire company more profitable, because__________________ .

Which of the following most logically completes the passage?

A. a large proportion of XO’s customers are those who initially bought XO’s chocolate candies and eventually went on to buy other candies made by XO.

B. XO has recently removed its two lowest-selling chocolate candies from their product line and replaced them with different types of chocolate candies.

C. the recipes of the chocolate candies date from the 19th century, while the non-chocolate candies were all developed more recently.

D.the chocolate candies are distributed differently than the non-chocolate candies, as chocolates are more popular on the coasts.

E.fewer people eat candy at all than they did a decade ago because of growing concern about obesity.

My logic is here. I really appreciate if someone can help me find any flaws in my understanding.

Gist of the stimulus: Chocolate candies aren't as profitable as the non chocolate ones because the chocolate candies sold fewer in number. Author believes that, due to some reason,shutting down chocolate candies operations wouldn't increase the profits.

Assumption: there is some good reason to retain the chocolate division(not sure whether it should be monetary or not)

A:This is the credited answer.

Thought that the reputation of the chocolate division is unnecessary here. Moreover, this choice is in past tense(who bought). I still see there is some bearing to stimulus but not a strong one to attract futurr customers.

B:May be the new ones opened still need some time to show if profitable or not. As per stimulus, Shutting down a few, including the new ones, will not increase the profits. I chose this and can't make out a good reason to eliminate.

C: development vs chocolate operations retention ->irrelevant

D : popular vs profitable. Not sure if this has some bearing on retention.

E: irrelevant since it doesn't focus why chocolate operations need to be retained.

Which of the following most logically completes the passage?

Electronic communications such as email, text messages, chats, and posts on the "walls" of social media sites are considered by psychologists to be "impersonal" forms of communication, meaning that the sender of the communication is distant from the receiver of the communication. This separation often results in misinterpretation by the recipient. Since such communications are also primarily one-way interactions, there is no chance for the sender of the communication to realize and correct the misinterpretation. Electronic communications should therefore be ____________.

Used only when face-to-face communications are not possible.

Written in straightforward language that is not liable to various different interpretations.

Used in situations where personal communications might be embarrassing.

Forbidden in professional occupations, such as medicine and law.

Used as frequently as possible, due to the convenience of avoiding lengthy conversations.

I fell for the trap, choosing A. Any thoughts how to eliminate A.
