Ski Resort Board Member: The free skier safety courses that have been offered by the resort for the past ten years must be improved or eliminated. The courses, which are designed to encourage safe skiing and reduce the risk of collisions and injuries, have always been free, highly publicized, and offered at various times throughout the week to accommodate a wide variety of scheduling needs. Despite this admirable initiative, a study shows that, during the past 10 years, skiers who completed the course were just as likely to be involved in a collision as skiers who did not complete the course. The resort wastes thousands of dollars each week running these ineffective courses.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the board member's argument depends?
(A) The skier safety courses could be improved without substantially increasing the program's budget.
(B) There are other methods besides offering skier safety courses that are more effective in reducing the risk of skier collisions and injuries.
(C) Skiers who completed the course are no less likely to be involved in a collision than they would have been if they had not completed the course.
(D) There is no way to reduce the current costs of running the mountain safety courses.
(E) Even though the courses are free, most skiers would prefer not to spend their time attending a safety course.
