Question Discussion & Explanation

Verbal

Several Craverton Company employees have drafted a petition to be submitted to the company’s management in the hope that the petition might prevent the closure of the exercise facility at Craverton’s headquarters. The petition claims that the closure would leave many employees without a convenient alternative to the facility, and that most of Craverton’s employees are required to work long hours, which would make commuting to an alternative facility burdensome. The petition also claims that Craverton has the greatest number of employees of any company in the city, and that closing the exercise facility would leave that sizable workforce without an alternative for something as important as personal fitness.

Each of the following, if true, weakens the claims raised in the petition EXCEPT:

Ⓐ For most Craverton employees, the commute to a fitness facility either from home, or from the office, would be unreasonably burdensome.
Ⓑ Employees interested in the company fitness facility make up a disproportionately small fraction of Craverton’s workforce.
Ⓒ A large proportion of Craverton’s employees either have fitness equipment at home, or engage in activities such as jogging.
Ⓓ Most of the time, the fitness facility at Craverton’s headquarters is available for use, but remains empty.
Ⓔ At Craverton’s fitness facility, workout classes that are typically filled elsewhere are routinely cancelled due to lack of interest.
