For-profit Social Organizations serve far fewer citizens [#permalink]
 14 Mar 2013, 21:24
Question Stats:
55% (02:23) correct
44% (01:38) wrong based on 3 sessions
For-profit Social Organizations serve far fewer citizens whom they serve than either public or private non-profit ones. At the same time, relative to non-profit Social Organizations, for-profit Social Organizations draw a disproportionate share of federal and state financial aid, such as food grants and guaranteed loans, for the people they serve. It must be, then, that for-profit Social Organizations cater to a greater proportion of financially disadvantaged citizens than do non-profit Social Organizations. The conclusion above depends on which of the following assumptions? A) Public non-profit Social Organizations and private non-profit Social Organizations serve a similar proportion of financially disadvantaged citizens. B) For-profit Social Organizations do not engage in fraudulent practices to obtain unneeded federal and state financial aid in order to in help the people they serve. C) The number of citizens that get benefited from federal and state financial aid at for-profit Social Organizations is greater than the number of citizens that get benefited from federal and state financial aid at non-profit Social Organizations. D) For-profit Social Organizations are of similar residential and educational quality as non-profit Social Organizations. E) The majority of citizens that are served at for-profit Social Organizations do not have a past criminal record or a bad credit history.

my take C
for if C is not true then conclusion that proportion of people catered by for profit is more will fall apart

B for me..
IMO it is assumed that whatever funds for profit organization draws from Federal and state aids is spent to serve financially weak citizen, that is they do not draw unneeded funds through frauds, and hence since they draw more they serve more....I am not clear with the word disproportionate here...It could be vice versa of what I assumed...

The conclusion above depends on which of the following assumptions?
A) Public non-profit Social Organizations and private non-profit Social Organizations serve a similar proportion of financially disadvantaged citizens.
B) For-profit Social Organizations do not engage in fraudulent practices to obtain unneeded federal and state financial aid in order to in help the people they serve.
C) The number of citizens that get benefited from federal and state financial aid at for-profit Social Organizations is greater than the number of citizens that get benefited from federal and state financial aid at non-profit Social Organizations.
D) For-profit Social Organizations are of similar residential and educational quality as non-profit Social Organizations.
E) The majority of citizens that are served at for-profit Social Organizations do not have a past criminal record or a bad credit history. Conclusion :- for-profit Social Organizations cater to a greater proportion of financially disadvantaged citizens than do non-profit Social Organizations Premise :- 1. For-profit Social Organizations serve far fewer citizens than either public or private non-profit ones 2. for-profit Social Organizations draw a disproportionate share of federal and state financial aid than non-profit Social Organizations do Prethinking :- The aid used by for-profit is used only for catering the citizens they serve and not for other purposes. POE :- Option A :- talks about only non profit organizations Option B :- Correct Option C :- talks about people benefited, the scope of the passage is people catered Option D :- talks about quality for some segments between for-profit and non-profit organizations Option E :- talks about the background of citizens catered by for-profit organizations. IMO :- B

IMO B. Facts: For-profit Social Organizations serve fewer citizens than non-profit. For-profit Social Organizations draw a disproportionate share of federal and state financial aid. Conclusion: For-profit Social Organizations cater to a greater proportion of financially disadvantaged citizens. A) Not relevant to the conclusion. Actually this option weakens the conclusion. B) CORRECT. C) The passage says: "For-profit Social Organizations draw a disproportionate share". If "The number of citizens that get benefited from federal and state financial aid at for-profit Social Organizations is greater than the number of citizens that get benefited from federal and state financial aid at non-profit Social Organizations.", the share would not be disproportionate. D) Out of scope. E) Out of scope as well.

Hi
The argument presents a relative comparision between profit and profit social org. serving older citizens. In its conclusion author concludes that since profit social org draws more funds from govt. they must be serving greater no of financially disadvantaged citizens.
So the answer must be B.

A) Public non-profit Social Organizations and private non-profit Social Organizations serve a similar proportion of financially disadvantaged citizens.
B) For-profit Social Organizations do not engage in fraudulent practices to obtain unneeded federal and state financial aid in order to in help the people they serve.
C) The number of citizens that get benefited from federal and state financial aid at for-profit Social Organizations is greater than the number of citizens that get benefited from federal and state financial aid at non-profit Social Organizations.
D) For-profit Social Organizations are of similar residential and educational quality as non-profit Social Organizations.
E) The majority of citizens that are served at for-profit Social Organizations do not have a past criminal record or a bad credit history. Hi Guys, Updating the post with OA and OEThe argument concludes that for-profit Social Organizations serve a greater proportion of financially disadvantaged citizens than do non-profit Social Organizations. This conclusion is based on the fact that citizens at for-profit Social Organizations draw a disproportionate share of federal and state financial aid. The argument assumes a link between the proportion of aid received and the proportion of financially disadvantaged citizens enrolled. In so doing, it assumes that there are not other possible reasons for the disproportionate aid distribution. A) Public non-profit Social Organizations and private non-profit Social Organizations serve a similar proportion of financially disadvantaged citizens. The conclusion makes a claim about the differences between for-profit and non-profit Social Organizations. Differences among non-profit Social Organizations – such as public vs. private – are irrelevant to the argument.B) For-profit Social Organizations do not engage in fraudulent practices to obtain unneeded federal and state financial aid in order to in help the people they serve. Correct. One alternative reason that might explain the disproportionate aid distribution is that for-profit Social Organizations engaged in fraudulent practices to obtain unneeded financial assistance for the citizens they serve. If this were true, then much of the aid was distributed based not on the actual financial situation of the citizens but on the ability of Social Organizations to defraud federal and state governments. This answer choice asserts that this was NOT in fact the case, thereby eliminating this alternative explanation and highlighting a key assumption on which the argument rests.C) The number of citizens that get benefited from federal and state financial aid at for-profit Social Organizations is greater than the number of citizens that get benefited from federal and state financial aid at non-profit Social Organizations. The argument's claim is centered on proportions. The actual number of citizens receiving aid at for-profit vs. non-profit Social Organizations is irrelevant to the conclusion.D) For-profit Social Organizations are of similar residential and educational quality as non-profit Social Organizations. The relative residential or educational quality of for-profit vs. non-profit Social Organizations lies outside the scope of the argument, which is focused solely on differences in financial aid distribution.E) The majority of citizens that are served at for-profit Social Organizations do not have a past criminal record or a bad credit history. The issue addressed by the argument is the amount of financial aid distributed to citizens at two types of institutions. Whether citizens have a bad credit history or a criminal record is immaterial to the claim made in the argument.Vercules
