If your home entertainment is important to you, why settle for an old-fashioned stereo system when the Mesa X-2700 is priced at only a few dollars more? The most serious logical weakness of this argument is its failure to
A. Provide technical data on the manufacturing specifications of the Mesa X-2700
B. Show the relevance of space-age circuitry to the requirement of home stereo.
C. Specify the exact price difference between the Mesa X-2700 and old-fashioned stereo systems.
D. Acknowledge the contributions of scientists in the space program to the development of the advanced circuitry mentioned.
E. Explain the precise meaning of the technical terms used.
