http://7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-62-section-2-question-13/I am making a spread sheet of the questions that I got wrong in this section and I am needing some help. Can someone please help me I am stuck. I am re-writing the question stem in a way that I understand it and then I am writing down the answer choices to explain why 4 are wrong and the one right is correct.
I am not really understanding why the correct answer is D. I picked B. Can any one help me understand why the other answer choices are wrong? Thanks!!!!

A) Is wrong because it does not mirror the structure of the stimulus at all... is buying screensavers based on anyone's preference?
C) is wrong because it does not tell us the loss from getting the pizza.. it quickly switches the subject to the time saved by doing another activity... nowhere does it compare the gain and losses from the pizza alone
D) is CORRECT because it mirrors the EXACT structure of the stimulus... you LOSE something by installing the security system i.e. customer goodwill and this loss is MORE THAN THE SAVINGS from losses by theft...
E) is wrong because it does not engage in any loss gain comparison where the loss turns out to be more than the gain.
Does this help?
I was asking for your reasoning so I could see if I could explain why your reasoning wasn't right depending on what you thought.
