The current proposal to give college students a broader [#permalink]
 06 Dec 2012, 02:14
Question Stats:
75% (03:15) correct
25% (01:32) wrong based on 4 sessions
The current proposal to give college students a broader choice in planning their own courses of study should be abandoned. The students who are supporting the proposal will never be satisfied, no matter what requirements are established. Some of these students have reached their third year without declaring a major. One first-year student has failed to complete four required courses. Several others have indicated a serious indifference to grades and intellectual achievement. A flaw in the argument is that it does which one of the following? (A) avoids the issue by focusing on supporters of the proposal (B) argues circularly by assuming the conclusion is true in stating the premises. (C) fails to define the critical term "satisfied" (D) distorts the proposal advocated by opponents (E) users the term "student" equivocally OA is

Author asserts that students will not be satisfied if new requirements are implied , in order to prove his point he cites that students have poor performance and hence are dissatisfied..but this doesn't mean students will remain dissatisfied after the implementing new changes. this is what i think.... what's the OA?

The conclusion is to abandon the current proposal. And the premises given are history of supporters of the proposal . So clearly the flaw is that the argument is not focusing on the cause behind the students' performance. My Answer is A

IMO A.
The argument does not talk about the proposal but rather about the supporters of proposal. The reasoning why it should be abandoned is not discussed at all.
