Wtf, back to back LR questions I just can't figure out during BR. Can someone breakdown the answer choices? I eliminated all of them during the timed exam and during BR, so I completely 1/5 guessed B. I am surprised that C is the answer since doesn't it make the absolute vs. relative flaw? In other words, just because most consumers find assembling the product "very easily," why can't the instructions make it even easier? I don't see how C would be at all inconsistent with the principle.

    LSAT is playing on the "most" factor. If "most" don't consult directions -ever- because they do not have problems...then rewriting the directions will never have an effect for "most" consumers. Yeah?No? I think.

    @nye8870.

    I see what you are getting at, but the principle is a comparison. How is it relevant that the most people can assemble the thing easily without looking at the instructions? Couldn't the people think it is very easy to assemble and not look at the instructions, but if they had, it would have been very, very easy? This one it totally over my head.

    The company's objective is to "make a difference" for -most- customers by changing the writing. However, most do not read them, so they will be unable to achieve this goal.

    Have a real problem seeing how (C) actually weakens the argument here. I see the discussion of most and the comparison.

    But is it right because even if most people found the product to put together easier with the instructions included than if they were not included, if most people aren't reading the instructions, then they won't find the product easier to put together if they're available? I feel like this answer is only identifiable through process of elimination.
