Executive: "we recently ran a set of advertisements in the print version of a travel magazine and on that magazine’s website. we were unable to get any direct information about consumer response to the print ads. however, we found that consumer response to the ads on the website was much more limited than is typical for website ads. we concluded that consumer response to the print ads was probably below par as well."

uses a case in which direct evidence is available to draw a conclusion about an analogous case in which direct evidence is unavailable
e
bases a prediction about future events on facts about recent comparable events
fill this in

D Uses a case in which direct evidence is available to draw a conclusion about an analogous case in which direct evidence is unavailable

Option D. Uses a case in which direct evidence is available to draw a conclusion about an analogous case in which direct evidence is unavailable.

Explanation:

The problems investigates the validity of the statements made in relation to the market research conducted during the survey. At the moment, there are conclusions drawn. However, the statement used the words "we found that consumer response to the ads on the website was much more limited than is typical for website ads." But there is something missing from the statement - the results of the survey. There is no statistical data to support the claim.

Therefore, the conclusion was drawn when direct evidence was unavailable.
