题干的意思是一种方便的脱水土豆比新鲜土豆价格贵15倍，因此，这种方便的脱水土豆销量上升了，说明消费者愿意为这种方便付出15倍的价格。
问题是这种说法的错误在哪。
A、方便的新鲜土豆价格是1美元2磅，比单纯的新鲜土豆贵1.5倍。这个方便的新鲜土豆是一个无关条件，题目中没有提到这个东西。因此，这种价格的比较也没有意义，这个选项是无关选项。
B、由于新鲜土豆含有80％的水份，因此一磅脱水土豆等于5磅新鲜土豆。这说明生产脱水土豆的成本比新鲜土豆要高，那么消费者为了方便的脱水土豆支付高价，不仅仅是因为它方便，同时也是因为它的成本高。即：消费者并不仅仅是因为方便就支付了15倍的高价。这正好是题目论点的错误所在。
呵呵，我非高人~ 方便与否是在土豆的其他品质一定的情况下，才能比较的~ 一旦土豆自身的某些重要品质不同，消费者付出15倍的价钱可能就另有原因了，c,d,e说的都是外部环境，只有b是土豆本身的性质。a只是重复了量大价优的事实，也属外部环境。
A没看懂 B说明sale for D土豆的原因是F土豆太多water，而并非D土豆会convenient，从而削弱argument中的因果关系
