Practice mode Critical Reasoning

Argument: Moving the weekly market to Sunday will increase its sales, because more people are free on Sundays. Which of the following, if true, most weakens the argument?

Correct answer B. A much larger market in the next town already runs on Sundays and draws most local shoppers there

Explanation

If a bigger rival already attracts most shoppers on Sundays, moving to Sunday may not raise sales. The number or type of stalls and the market's age do not challenge the plan.
