Complete Question Explanation
Must Be True—PR. The correct answer choice is (D)
This stimulus presents a fairly simple principle: if you do not have sufficient information for a well informed decision, then you should gather more information rather than deciding based on limited information.
The correct answer choice will reflect this advice.
Answer choice (A): This answer choice lacks the component of gathering additional information before making a decision, so it is incorrect.
Answer choice (B): This is a somewhat tricky wrong answer choice. Unlike the stimulus, though, which advises gathering further information rather than making a decision with inadequate information, this answer choice advises making a decision based on many factors, rather than just one (which might not require the gathering of more information).
Answer choice (C): Since this answer choice has nothing to do with making a well-informed decision, it cannot possibly conform to the principle from the stimulus.
Answer choice (D): This is the correct answer choice. This reflects the principle from the stimulus in a very specific context: if you do have insufficient information (personal experience only) to make a well-informed decision, you should not make the decision at the time, and instead wait until you have gathered more information (the reliability history summary of many owners).
Answer choice (E): This incorrect answer choice starts out along the right lines, but goes awry in the end. The beginning, that one should not make a decision based on insufficient information, is nicely aligned with the principle in the stimulus. Unlike the stimulus, however, which advises gathering more information before making a decision, this choice suggests giving up.
