Cracking the GMAT GMAT Diagnostic Test Verbal Bin One(P374) The correct answer is (B)
This is an analogy argument.The magazine-like houseware catalog is being launched because the company expects it to appeal to the same upscale clientele that its clothing catalog appealed to.The key word in the passage that might have alerted you to the analogy was the word"same".The assumption on which this argument depends is that the two catalogues are analogous--that it actually will attract the same clientele.(A),(C),(D)and (E)are all outside the scope of the argument.The correct answer is choice(B).
