How long did this passage take for people to get through under timed conditions?

#help I chose E because none of the other choices felt right, though to me it still sounds like we're attacking the premise and not the support. By disputing the author's claim that there are only two ways to prevent profit loss, aren't we attacking the conclusion? In other flaw question that aren't only-option-flaws, if an AC says something like "there are other options that weren't considered" it turns out to be almost always incorrect.

Is there a gap in my understanding as to when a flaw needs an "alternative options" type of AC? Would love some help! :)

Interested! Based out of Singapore so if this is an online session, U.S. mornings/nights would work best for me :)

I'm writing the October test too! Would love to study together.

Did anyone else eliminate C almost immediately because the example provided was thorough/not a generalization?
