Question 1 of 5

Backease is a specially designed cushion that relaxes tense back muscles by massaging the user's back. A survey showed that 70 percent of the people who used a Backease cushion for recently developed back pain experienced either a significant reduction or complete elimination of their back pain after two weeks of daily use. Clearly, therefore, anybody who has recently developed back pain and does not promptly use a Backease cushion risks needless suffering.

The argument is most vulnerable to criticism on grounds that it

A. overlooks the possibility that people who develop back pain and do not use a Backease cushion can readily find an effective alternative

B. overlooks the possibility that some of the people surveyed use a Backease cushion for reasons other than the alleviation of back pain, such as helping them to relax

C. overlooks the possibility that among the 30 percent who did not experience a significant reduction or complete elimination of their back pain, some experienced a moderate improvement

D. relies solely on personal reports rather than on reasoning

E. groups together those people who experienced a complete elimination of back pain with those who experienced only a significant reduction
