The petition claims that the closure would leave many employees without a convenient alternative to the facility, and that most of Craverton\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Each of the following, if true, weakens the claims raised in the petition EXCEPT:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u24b6 For most Craverton employees, the commute to a fitness facility either from home, or from the office, would be unreasonably burdensome.<br \/>\n\u24b7 Employees interested in the company fitness facility make up a disproportionately small fraction of Craverton\u2019s workforce.<br \/>\n\u24b8 A large proportion of Craverton\u2019s employees either have fitness equipment at home, or engage in activities such as jogging.<br \/>\n\u24b9 Most of the time, the fitness facility at Craverton\u2019s headquarters is available for use, but remains empty.<br \/>\n\u24ba At Craverton\u2019s fitness facility, workout classes that are typically filled elsewhere are routinely cancelled due to lack of interest.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/cr-weaken-series-2-several-craverton-employees-199073.html\">Question Discussion &amp; Explanation<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Correct Answer<\/strong> <span style=\"background-color: #fff; color: #fff;\">- A\u00a0-<\/span> (click and drag your mouse to see the answer)<\/div>\n<p><strong>Like these questions?<\/strong> Get the GMAT Club question collection: <a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/tests\/\">online at GMAT Club<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fentity%2FGMAT-Club%2FB0048PPF3U%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Dntt_athr_dp_pel_1&amp;tag=gmatclub-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957\">on your Kindle<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=PJTlq5NYqfE&amp;offerid=146261&amp;type=3&amp;subid=blog&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fgmat-toolkit%252Fid328345537%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D6%2526partnerId%253D30\">on your iPhone\/iPad<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/category\/blog\/gmat-tests\/\"><strong>Browse all GMAT Questions of the Day<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to GMAT Question of the Day:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/feedburner.google.com\/fb\/a\/mailverify?uri=GMAT-Question-of-the-day&amp;loc=en_US\">E-mail<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/GMAT-Question-of-the-day\">RSS<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Math If 4 people are selected from a group of 6 married couples, what is the probability that none of them would be married to each other?
