PrepTest 48, Section 2, Question 2
Publishing executive: Our company must sell at least 100,000 books to make a profit this year. However, it is unlikely that we will sell that many, since of the twelve titles we will sell, the one with the best sales prospects, a novel, is unlikely to sell as many as 100,000 copies.

The publishing executive's argument is most vulnerable to criticism because it overlooks the possibility that
the publishing company will sell considerably fewer than 100,000 copies of the novel
the publishing company will not make a profit even if it sells more than 100,000 books
what is true of the overall profitability of a publishing company is not true of its profitability in a particular year
what is true of the sales prospects of the publishing company's individual titles is not true of the sales prospects of the group of titles as a whole
the publishing company will sell even fewer books if it does not advertise its books efficiently
