This question is also a bit tricky because it is saying, they control more disposable income than the rest of the population combined, which mathematically means more than 50%. However, the answer choice says 50% or more it should really read "more than 50%" because if they control only 50% then they are equal with the rest of the population because the rest of the population will control the other 50%.

You have misunderstood my point.
Firstly, where did I say you shouldn't say a location is West of somewhere?
Secondly, to say that a location can't be East and West of somewhere is "absurd" means you clearly haven't heard of Antipodes.
A standardised way doesn't mean that it is correct.
As you yourself invoked The Mercator Projection, you must be aware of the plethora of flaws, such as: the misplacing of parts of Continents in hemispheres and incorrect ratios.
You have fallen into the trap of saying that it allows you tell what part of the world you're referring to (i.e. Middle East) well it doesn't always because the confusion of this question stems from not understanding what is referred to as the Western World. The reason being is because convention changed, there is not agreed upon convention of what geographically is the Western World (which was my original point you misunderstood). The original convention for referring to the Eastern and Western world stems from the division of the Roman Empire and was later propagated by Christendom, so it wasn't to do with overall global positioning.

Q20 is crazy because you have to assume that just because they have access to the TV shows then they will definitely air it. Maybe, its an awful show or maybe doesn't fit into their programming etc

Technically, nothing is considered geographically the Western world because the Earth is a globe. Try to remember that when viewing the world as a map.
Also, it is long standing convention that the westernised world consists of Europe and Australasia

I completely understand why A was the right choice, I was just asking if other people agreed there was a logical inconsistency.

It can be all 3, just depends on the context of the argument because it could just be used the traditional way From is used.
I like cheese from this we can conclude I will eat Pizza. (Conclusion Indicator).
I like cheese from this we can conclude, I will eat pizza & thus, we can say I won't starve. (Premise Indicator).
We can conclude I will eat Pizza from the fact I like Cheese (Conclusion/Premise indictor).
I like from all types of countries & this, we can conclude I will eat Pizza (Traditional use of From).

Upon reflection, I think it is definitely a conclusion/premise indicator but I think can also be a premise indictor and a conclusion indicator. For example, "From this evidence, we can infer.....etc" & like you said it could lead you to something that isn't the main conclusion, thus making it a premise indicator.
