📊 GMAT Exam Prep

When analyzing an argument, introducing a plausible counter-example primarily serves to:

A Demonstrate the writer's extensive knowledge of the subject matter.
B Directly disprove the argument's main conclusion.
C Highlight a potential scenario where the argument's reasoning might fail.
D Offer an alternative solution to the problem discussed in the argument.

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

Counter-examples show that the argument's conclusion does not necessarily follow from its premises, revealing a weakness in its logic by presenting a plausible alternative outcome or scenario.
