Consumers should be critical of what advertisements say. This is because advertising helps businesses fulfill their profit-generating goals, and these goals do not require presenting accurate information.

The advocate assumes that just because the goal of generating profit does not motivate businesses to present accurate information in their ads, there is no other factor that does.

This strengthens the argument. It reinforces the premises by noting that businesses are aware that deception in advertisements can lead to larger profits, and we already know that businesses are motivated primarily to maximize profit.

This strengthens the argument. It reinforces the conclusion that consumers should be skeptical of advertisements’ claims, as businesses have been shown to present false information in their ads.

This does not affect the argument. Whether or not consumers are already skeptical of advertisements is not relevant to the advocate’s argument, which is about whether consumers should be skeptical of the claims made in advertisements.

This strengthens the argument. (D) says that accuracy is not the biggest priority for those developing ads, which suggests that accuracy could be compromised in favor of creativity. This strengthens the conclusion that consumers should be skeptical of the claims made in ads.

This strengthens the argument. It suggests that current laws are insufficient to protect consumers from inaccurate claims in advertising. Thus, consumers should be skeptical of advertisements’ claims.
