The president of the Coral Isle Homeowner's Association proposed a plan to install a guard gate in front of the community in order to boost property value, enhance security, and increase the exclusivity of the community. Proposals of this nature must be approved by a majority of the homeowners in the association before they can be implemented. At the most recent meeting of the association, the proposal to build a new guard gate was approved by sixty percent of those present. Although this did not represent enough total votes for the proposal to pass, the president nevertheless concluded that Coral Isle would soon be installing a new guard gate.
Which of the following, if true, would cast the most doubt on the president's conclusion that Coral Isle will soon install a new guard gate?
A) Many of the homeowners voting against the proposal do not believe that the proposed benefits of increased property value, security, and exclusivity will occur if the gate is installed.
B) The most recent meeting was attended by a majority of the homeowners in Coral Isle.
C) In a neighboring community, the installation of a guard gate did not lower the crime rate, increase property values or enhance exclusivity.
D) In a recent poll, a majority of the homeowners in the neighborhood indicated that lowering property taxes is more important than installing a guard gate.
E) The homeowners in the association who did not attend the most recent meeting did so as a means of expressing their opposition to the guard gate proposal.
