Critical Reasoning (CR) | Re: There is relatively little room for growth in the overall carpet marke

 

In a sense, buying a competitor involves taking over the competitor's business.

The competitor's business involves selling carpet. So, a competitor in the carpet industry must be selling carpet of styles that consumers have been buying.

Thus, while buying a competitor may results in the buying company selling styles that are new to the buying company, the styles are not new to consumers.

So, (E) does not bring up any problem with the strategy of buying competitors because that strategy does not involve selling carpet of styles new to consumers.
