Editorial: In order to preserve the health of its local economy, Metropolis should
not permit a CostMart warehouse department store to open within city limits.
It has been demonstrated that when CostMart opens a warehouse department
store within a city, the bankruptcy rate of local retailers increases in that city by
twenty percent over the next several years.
Which of the following questions would be most useful for evaluating the conclusion
of the Editorial?
(A) Does the bankruptcy rate of local retailers in a city generally stabilize several
years after a CostMart warehouse department store opens?
(B) Do most residents of Metropolis currently do almost all of their shopping at
stores within the city limits of Metropolis?
(C) Have other cities that have permitted CostMart warehouse department
stores within city limits experienced any economic benefits as a result?
(D) Is the bankruptcy rate for local retailers in Metropolis higher than in the average
city that has permitted a CostMart warehouse department store within
city limits?
(E) Does CostMart plan to hire employees exclusively from within Metropolis for
the proposed warehouse department store?
