(D) Even if some varieties of mold are harmless, the conclusion of this
argument, that “one should make sure to keep all internal plumbing in good
condition to prevent leakage” and minimize mold growth, could still be valid.
Therefore, this argument does not depend on the unnecessarily absolute
assertion that no varieties of mold are harmless.
(E) Whether mold spores can be filtered from the air may be relevant to a
conclusion about the health effects of mold in the home, but it is not directly
relevant to the given conclusion.

(D).
This argument discusses a plan with the stated goal “to prevent
overcrowding.” Two points of view are represented in the argument: one is
that of the town zoning board, the originators of the plan, and the other is that
of critics of the plan. The question asks for information that would most
support the claims of the critics of the plan.
(A) How other towns fared under similar zoning plans is irrelevant to this
argument, unless additional information was presented to connect the
situation of this town to those. There is no such connecting information, so
this choice neither strengthens nor weakens either point of view.
(B) How long it has been since the construction of the last school in town is
irrelevant to this argument. The argument addresses methods to prevent
overcrowding, an issue that is not directly related to school construction.
(C) The argument never mentions property taxes, so how property taxes in
this town compare to those in neighboring towns is irrelevant.
