Hello Everyone,
Here's a question from the
e-GMAT bakery - Fresh and crispy
Looking forward to a healthy discussion
Advisor: The government of city of Benzaria should discontinue the requirement from all schools to provide video recordings of classroom sessions to the students. The costs implications to maintain such a facility is quite significant for the schools. On the other hand, the benefit is non-existent as can be seen from the fact that since the implementation of the plan, the difference in the test score of students in Benzaria and that of students in Karamal hasn’t come down even though Karamal hasn’t implemented this program.
Critique: I disagree. The implementation of the program in Benzaria has forced the government in Karamal to maintain better school standards in order to compete with Benzaria for federal government funds that are allocated on the basis of the average student test scores in the city.
Which of the following statements is an assumption underlying the Critique’s argument?
A. The requirement of recording classroom sessions have led the schools in Benzaria to hire better quality instructors.
B. Test scores are not the only way to compare student performance across different schools.
C. Student test scores in Benzaria cannot be increased significantly without the requirement on the schools to video record the classroom sessions
D. The better school standards in the city of Karamal have led to better test scores for its students
E. The student attendance in the classrooms in Benzaria hasn’t decreased after the introduction of the requirement to video record classroom sessions
Thanks,
Chiranjeev
