4. I want to learn how to play golf. I have exactly one month and can spare two hours each day for my golf lessons. Even though renting a golf cart would increase the price of my lessons twice, I will rent it, as riding a cart will increase the speed of game and would therefore enable me to learn how to play golf twice as fast.
Which of the following, if true, most undermines the logic above?
a. Golf carts break each other day, which causes golfers to pause their lessons for in average 20 minutes.
b. Taking golf lessons without renting a golf cart makes the lessons twice as cheap. It is better to take twice as many lessons during the time one has in order to learn how to play golf better.
c. The person who will be taking golf lessons has two hours each day. Driving to and from the golf court, stopping by at McDonald's on the way there would leave only about an hour for the play. Therefore, the person should definitely rent a golf cart in order to learn how to play better and faster.
d. Renting a golf cart helps reduce time between shots and makes carrying clubs much easier. Therefore, golf carts help preserve golfer's time and strength.
e. In order to learn how to play golf better, the student must get the feeling of the game. Walking in stead of riding a golf cart, having more time to talk with an instructor and think about the shots enables the student to get a better understanding of the sport.

A.
Our hero doesn't want to learn the golf better ,rather he wants to learn it faster.
So between E, which is dealing with quality, and A , which is dealing with
speed, I prefer A.

a. If you take such breaks due to cart breakdowns, then how are going to be any faster? This connects the carts and the getting around the golf course together... WINNER
b. irrelevant... cheap is not an issue... but being faster is OUT
c. so by taking a cart he would make up time spent driving, eating etc... Supports
d. supports the conclsuion
e. irrelevant... this makes no sense if you want to learn golf faster...
The correct answer is A.
a. As golf carts break often, they do not allow for the full increase in the speed of the lessons, therefore undermining the desire of the student to learn how to play golf faster. Especially as the student claims he/she will learn how to play golf twice as fast. With golf cart breaking so often, the increase in the pace of the game would be less than twice.
b. The student is not concerned about the price as about the time. There are only so many hours per day, so the student must make the most of the time.
c. Provides too many additional facts, making this out out of scope.
d. Supports the claim.
e. It is the speed of the game that the student is most interested in, not the quality.
