5. (A)
Question type: Analyze Argument Structure
Notice that answer choice (A) is simply a rewording of the first line of the argument, which is the argument’s conclusion.
(B) is an accurate rephrasing of a premise contained in the argument, but not the main conclusion.
(C) is an accurate rephrasing of a premise contained in the argument, but not the main conclusion.
(D) is a tempting answer because the rest of the argument does focus on the technological aspects of the CD vs. vinyl, but the author’s main conclusion nonetheless refers to artistic freedom and not technological innovation.
(E) inaccurately extrapolates what is true of the last track of a CD vs. vinyl to the entire medium of the CD.
