This tells us people are skeptical of descriptions overall, but we don’t know how they respond to lists of defects specifically. This lacks the comparative aspect that we need.

If this were true, people would presumably prefer to buy the cars without reported defects. However, the stimulus tells us the opposite is true. This doesn't offer an explanation, but just creates more confusion.

We need to identify some difference in consumers' response to descriptions that list defects, and saying that the defects are overlooked doesn't help us with that. The stimulus also isn't concerned with detailed descriptions.

So when defects are reported, people assume they’re getting the whole picture. When defects aren’t reported, people may assume there's a hidden problem, which makes them less inclined to make a purchase. This explains the difference.

Like in (C), the stimulus is concerned with brief, not detailed, descriptions. Also like (C), we need to know what about a list of defects is appealing—and that requires consumers read the descriptions.
