Explanation:

Option 3 makes first and second options (in the caselet) less attractive, but does not make third option (in the caselet) as attractive as option 2 does. Option 4 makes first option (in the caselet) and second option (in the caselet) attractive but does not improve the chances of preferring the third option (in the caselet). Option 5 makes first option (in the caselet) less attractive and second option most attractive. Based on arguments presented in the previous question, it is clear that third option (in the caselet) was not the best. Hence, 1 is not the right answer. If the builder had good reputation among the local house owners, it means that the builder has been constructing houses to the satisfaction of the local house owners which probably would mean that the builder should be able to assure good quality.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
