Roastery manager: In March we began resting each roast ten days before shipping instead of three. Our tasting panel scores bags drawn from what we sell, and this year it has given our coffees the highest marks we have recorded. We buy from the same farms and roast to the same profile as last year. So the longer rest is at least part of what has lifted the marks.

Which one of the following, if true, most weakens the manager's argument?

AThe green coffee reaching the roastery has been sorted on new equipment since February, and lots with fewer defects earn higher marks from any panel.

BResting coffee ten days rather than three ties up shelf space, and the roastery has rented a second store this year.

CCoffee sold at the roastery door still leaves after three days rather than ten, and the panel's marks for it have risen as much this year.

DTwo other city roasteries rest their coffees three days rather than ten, and the panel marks their coffees no lower than it marked this roastery's a year ago.

EMost drinkers brew what they take home within a week, when a ten-day rest has left the coffee flat.
