Smith, a basketball player, successfully made 80% of the shots that he attempted this year – an exceptionally high percentage for a player in Smith's league. However, this statistic does not mean that Smith is an exceptional shooter, because the best shooters take many shots from risky locations 20 or more feet away from the basket. Instead, Smith's high 

shooting percentage simply shows that he takes most of his shots from locations very close to the basket. 

Conclusion - Smith is NOT an exceptional shooter

Type - Strengthen

A. Smith's shooting percentage for shots taken from more than 20 feet away from the basket is no higher than other players' shooting percentages from that distance. - Correct

B. Smith took most of his shots during games that were closely contested and in which his team could not afford the time and effort to set up easier shots. - Incorrect - So most of Smith's shots were difficult ones ; also does easier shots mean shots taken from 20 feet or less

C. Very few of the baskets scored by Smith's team from locations close to the basket were shot by Smith himself. - Incorrect - this is a mild weakener - Very Few of Smith's shots were taken from locations close to the basket ; But we can't infer that most of the shots were taken 20 feet or more away 

D. The position that Smith plays allows him relatively few shooting opportunities from locations close to the basket. - Incorrect- So his position may not offer him many shooting opportunities from locations close to the basket but we can't infer that most of his shots were 20 feet or more away

E. Smith's shooting percentage, the highest in the league, was almost 10% higher than that of the player with the next highest percentage. - Irrelevant
