Why E?

Hello @ca_teran1@yahoo.com, You have a point, the flaw in this question is a misuse of percentages. However, it may be a different flaw than you expected. The error in this statement is that it fails to account for houses that have both problems - inadequate drainage and structural defects. I'll input some numbers to explain. Let's say there are 100 houses in the town. Houses with only Structural Defects: 25 Houses with only Inadequate drainage: 25 Houses with both: 5 What percentage of houses have structural defects? 30/100 or 30% What percentage of houses have inadequate drainage? 30/100 or 30% What percentage of houses have some kind of problem? 55/100 or 55% This proves that the conclusion is not necessarily true. It could be less than 60%. The resident in the stimulus assumed that these problems cannot overlap.
