Physician: There were approximately 83,400 trampoline-related injuries last year. This suggests that trampolines are quite dangerous and should therefore be used only under professional supervision.

Trampoline enthusiast: I disagree. In the past ten years sales of home trampolines have increased much more than trampoline-related injuries have: 260 percent in sales compared with 154 percent in injuries. Every exercise activity carries risks, even when carried out under professional supervision.

The dialogue provides the most support for the claim that the physician and the trampoline enthusiast disagree over whether

(A) trampolines cause injuries to a significant number of people using them

(B) home trampolines are the main source of trampoline-related injuries

(C) the rate of trampoline-related injuries, in terms of the number of injuries per trampoline user, is declining

(D) professional supervision of trampoline use tends to reduce the number of trampoline-related injuries

(E) trampoline use is an activity that warrants mandatory professional supervision
­

So a neat little trick on this question would be to summarize in a table as you review the options. Add + or - or ? depending on whether the Physician/Enthu agree or disagree if no opinion then rule out answer choice and add ? whichever is faster for you.

    Physician    Enthusiast
A   +                ? No opinion
B   No opinion
C  No Opinion
D  +                ? Not clear if enthu has an opinion
E   +                  - Disagree

So answer choice that is best is E, D is very close and if you pay close attention the enthusiast does not necessarily disagee with the physician.

Thanks,
