Kaplan Practice question 48
In the past 6 pro football drafts, 4 of the 6 players selected by Team A are now starters on the squad. On Team B, only 2 of the 6 players selected in the draft are starters. SO, a football player selected by Team A from the draft pool has a higher probability of becoming a starter than if he is selected by Team B.
Which of the following if true, would be the best reason to reject this argument.
a. Two of the four starters on the Team A are the songs of the coach.
b. Team B has a new owner and coaching staff.
c. Team B has a new state-of-the-art gym.
d. Team B's pick is a quarterback, and the starting quarterback is retiring.
e. Team A has had the first draft pick for the past 6 years, while Team B has had the last pick. This year it is reversed.

Ans is E here is why:
this is a weaken the conclusion question. so let's first locate the conclusion and the evidence:
Concl: Player selected by A has more chances of becoming starter than player selected by B
Evidence (why?): past 6 drafts 4/6 are starters
Goal: to show that player selected by A doesn’t have more chances
Paraphrasing an answer usually helps to get a better understanding of a question, to better relate to it, even if your paraphrasing is not one of the choices
my paraphrase was: A had more $$ to spend than B; currently A is out of cash whereas B found a new, loaded sponsor
