3. We, at Comfort Stationers, have always been striving to provide
stationery items that would make your work more enjoyable and less
strenuous. Our latestinnovations are a smooth-flow pen and gradual-
friction paper. A combination of these two reduces strain on your fingers
and allows faster writing the causes lesser fatigue. Therefore,
replacement of your pen and paper with ourinnovativeproducts reduces
cost of clerical jobs.

Which of the following, if true, would weaken the conclusion drawn in the
aboveargument?

A. Those who are already using the above new products report greater
difficulty in transition from new products to regular ones than from the
regular ones tothenew ones.

B. The cost of manufacturing these new products is not more than the cost
of manufacturing the regular ones and the new products last longer than
the regularones.

C. The number of offices using the new products is increasing month by

month.

D. These products need to be purchased in huge lots and need to be

storedinspecial conditions. The cost of procurement and strong is quite
high.

Answer: Option D

Solution:
The passage talks about the advantages in writing by using the new
kind ofpen and paper and arrives at a conclusion about the cost of
clerical job. We have to show that the new products do not lead to
decrease in cost of clerical job.
None of the choice (a), (c) and (e) has anything about the cost. Hence, none
ofthem weakens the conclusion.

Choice (b) states that the new products can be manufactured and they also
lastlonger. This information strengthens the conclusion.

According to choice (d) the procurement and storage costs are very high.
This casts a doubt on the conclusion that the cost of clerical job can be
decreased byusing these new products. Hence, (d) weakens the
conclusion.
