This success rate, exceptionally high for university fund-raisers, does not indicate that they were doing a good job. On the contrary, since the people most likely to donate are those who have donated in the past, good fund-raisers constantly try less-likely prospects in an effort to expand the donor base. The high success rate shows insufficient canvassing effort.<\/p>\n<p>Which of the following, if true, provides more support for the argument?<\/p>\n<p>(A) Smithtown University\u2019s fund-raisers were successful in their contacts with potential donors who had never given before about as frequently as were fund-raisers for other universities in their contacts with such people.<\/p>\n<p>(B) This year the average size of the donations to Smithtown University from new donors when the university\u2019s fund-raisers had contacted was larger than the average size of donations from donors who had given to the university before.<\/p>\n<p>(C) This year most of the donations that came to Smithtown University from people who had previously donated to it were made without the university\u2019s fund-raisers having made any contact with the donors.<\/p>\n<p>(D) The majority of the donations that fund-raisers succeeded in getting for Smithtown University this year were from donors who had never given to the university before.<\/p>\n<p>(E) More than half of the money raised by Smithtown University\u2019s fund-raisers came from donors who had never previously donated to the university.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/topic255219.html\">Question Discussion &amp; Explanation<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Correct Answer<\/strong>\u00a0- <span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">A<\/span>\u00a0-\u00a0(click and drag your mouse to see the answer)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Like these questions?<\/strong>\u00a0Get the\u00a0<b><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/tests-beta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/tests-beta\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1494346763458000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGPuQLeF_71bLsXGDQ7KbNaq3jUAA\">GMAT Club CAT\u2019s<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quant 4 professors and 6 students are being considered for membership on a supervisory committee which must consist of 3 people.
