Logic Breakdown

Passage Summary: People are renting this addictive new game at record rates, and because there's a discount for renters who decide to buy it, the publisher thinks sales are about to skyrocket.

Conclusion: The publisher predicts that sales of the new adventure game will soon exceed expectations.

Reasoning: The game is highly addictive, rentals are currently exceeding expectations, and the publisher offers a rebate that makes buying the game cheaper for those who have already rented it.

Analysis: To strengthen this prediction, we need to bridge the gap between 'high rentals' and 'future sales.' The argument assumes that people who rent the game will actually want to own it. Look for an answer that confirms this behavior—perhaps by suggesting that the game is too long to finish in a single rental period, or that the type of people currently renting are the type who typically buy games they enjoy. We want to ensure that the rental 'boom' is a precursor to a sales 'boom' rather than a substitute for it.

13.

Which one of the following, if true, most helps to justify the publisher's prediction?

Correct Answer
B
If it takes several weeks for most players to complete the game, then two-day rentals will not suffice. Because renters are preoccupied with finishing and get a rebate equal to one rental toward purchase, many of the excess renters are likely to convert to buyers soon, supporting the prediction that sales will exceed expectations.
