An argument claims, 'Our recent survey of 50 internet users showed overwhelming support for our new online privacy policy, proving its broad appeal.' An AWA essay addressing this should primarily question the argument's reliance on this evidence by asking what?

A Whether the survey was conducted online or in person.
B If the 50 internet users are representative of the broader population of all internet users or target customers.
C The specific questions asked in the survey.
D The cost of conducting the survey.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

The primary flaw is generalizing from a small, potentially unrepresentative sample to 'broad appeal.' The essay should question if this sample truly reflects the intended larger group.
