A business owner noticed that many of her employees exhibited signs of fatigue throughout the workday. To combat this, the business owner has partnered with a local gym to offer employees a discounted rate on annual memberships. The business owner is confident this program will help to lessen employee fatigue, as studies have shown that people who exercise regularly have higher energy levels than people who do not.
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously call into question the claim that the business owner’s plan will reduce fatigue?
(A) Making minor changes to one’s diet can boost energy as effectively as can regular exercise.
(B) The discount offered is so small that most employees will not be encouraged to purchase an annual membership.
(C) Employees with higher energy levels are not necessarily more productive at work.
(D) The local gym would have to offer more classes to accommodate the increase in membership.
(E) There is no way to eliminate fatigue altogether.

many of employee exhibited signs of fatigue throughout the day so business owner has partnered with local gym to offer annual membership at discounted rate.
reason- it will help lessen the fatigue because studies have shown that people who exercise regularly have higher energy levels than people who do not.
so owner is assuming that discounted annual membership will drive people to join gym.
A wrong comparison here. reject.
B perfect. if the discount is so low compared to original price then why would employees buy that? just because there is discounted tag associated doesnt mean people will buy it. so this does enough to attack the conclusion. keep.
C its not about productive at all. reject.
D this is gym problem. out.
E irrelevant. reject.
ans B

A. Making minor changes to one's diet can boost energy as effectively as regular exercise.
Rejected. This introduces an alternative solution but does not weaken the plan itself. The existence of another method does not mean the gym plan will fail.
B. The discount offered is so small that most employees will not be encouraged to purchase an annual membership.
Correct. If employees do not actually join the gym and exercise regularly, the study's findings about regular exercisers never come into play. The entire plan depends on employees actually using the memberships, and if the discount is too small to motivate them, the plan fails before it even starts.
C. Employees with higher energy levels are not necessarily more productive at work.
Rejected. The plan's stated goal is to reduce fatigue, not to increase productivity. This is entirely outside the scope of the argument.
D. The local gym would have to offer more classes to accommodate the increase in membership.
Rejected. This describes a logistical challenge for the gym, not a reason why the plan would fail to reduce employee fatigue.
E. There is no way to eliminate fatigue altogether.
Rejected. The business owner only claims the plan will lessen fatigue, not eliminate it.
