<p>The only purpose for which a particular type of tape is needed is to hold certain surgical wounds closed for ten daysâ€”the maximum time such wounds need tape. Newtape is a new brand of this type of tape.<br />
Newtapeâ€™s salespeople claim that Newtape will improve healing because Newtape adheres twice as long as the currently used tape does.<br />
Which of the following statements, if true, would most seriously call into question the claim made by Newtapeâ€™s salespeople?<br />
(A) Most surgical wounds take about ten days to heal.<br />
(B) Most surgical tape is purchased by hospitals and clinics rather than by individual surgeons.<br />
(C) The currently used tapeâ€™s adhesiveness is more than sufficient to hold wounds closed for ten<br />
days.<br />
(D) Neither Newtape nor the currently used tape adheres well to skin that has not been cleaned.<br />
(E) Newtapeâ€™s adhesion to skin that has been coated with a special chemical preparation is<br />
only half as good as the currently used tapeâ€™s adhesion to such coated skin.</p>

With Proposition 13, if you bought your house 11 years ago for $75,000, your property tax would be approximately $914 a year (1 percent of $75,000 increased by 2 percent each year for 11 years); and if your neighbor bought an identical house next door to you for $200,000 this year, his tax would be [...]]]></description>

<p>With Proposition 13, if you bought your house 11 years ago for $75,000, your property tax would be approximately $914 a year (1 percent of $75,000 increased by 2 percent each year for 11 years); and if your neighbor bought an identical house next door to you for $200,000 this year, his tax would be $2,000 (1 percent of $200,000). Without Proposition 13, both you and your neighbor would pay $6,000 a year in property taxes (3 percent of $200,000). Which of the following is the conclusion for which the author most likely is arguing in the passage above?</p>
<p>(A) Proposition 13 is unconstitutional because it imposes an unequal tax on properties of equal value.<br />
(B) If Proposition 13 is repealed, every homeowner is likely to experience a substantial increase in property taxes.<br />
(C) By preventing inflation from driving up property values, Proposition 13 has saved homeowners thousands of dollars in property taxes.<br />
(D) If Proposition 13 is not repealed, identical properties will continue to be taxed at different rates.<br />
(E) Proposition 13 has benefited some homeowners more than others.</p>

<p>Advertisement:<br />
The worldâ€™s best coffee beans come from Colombia. The more Colombian beans in a blend of coffee, the better the blend, and no company purchases more  Colombian beans than Kreemo Coffee. Inc. So it only stands to reason that if you buy a can of Kreemoâ€™s coffee, youâ€™re buying the best blended coffee available today.<br />
The reasoning of the argument in the advertisement is flawed because it overlooks the possibility that</p>
<p>(A) the equipment used by Kreemo to blend and package its coffee is no different from that used by most other coffee producers<br />
(B) not all of Kreemoâ€™s competitors use Colombian coffee beans in the blends of coffee they sell<br />
(C) Kreemo sells more coffee than does any other company<br />
(D) Kreemoâ€™s coffee is the most expensive blended coffee available today<br />
(E) the best unblended coffee is better than the best blended coffee</p>
<p>Answer choice is C.</p>
<p>Can someone explain me why C is the correct choice? There is no mention of :</p>
<p>1. only Colombian beans are used to manufacture the coffee by Kreemo</p>
<p>2. Kreemo sells only Colombian beans made coffee</p>
