Roland: The alarming fact is that 90 percent of the people in this country now report that they know someone who is unemployed.<\/p>\n

Sharon: But a normal, moderate level of unemployment is 5 percent, with 1 out of 20 workers unemployed. So at any given time if a person knows approximately 50 workers, 1 or more will very likely be unemployed.<\/p>\n

Sharon's argument relies on the assumption that<\/p>\n

(A) normal levels of unemployment are rarely exceeded<\/p>\n

(B) unemployment is not normally concentrated in geographically isolated segments of the population<\/p>\n

(C) the number of people who each know someone who is unemployed is always higher than 90% of the population<\/p>\n

(D) Roland is not consciously distorting the statistics he presents<\/p>\n

(E) knowledge that a personal acquaintance is unemployed generates more fear of losing one's job than does knowledge of unemployment statistics<\/p>\n
