E-mail from Vice President of E.A.S.Y. Manufacturing to Legislative Consultant and Staff Researcher

The results of the last election are a concern for us. The candidates we supported were defeated in more than two-thirds of the races we followed. The result is a harder battle to get policies that benefit our interests through the legislature, but it’s also a budget issue. We can’t continue throwing money at races we can’t win, no matter how agreeable the candidate’s stand on our issues may be. The fact that they share our viewpoints doesn’t help if they can’t get elected. How can we determine where it makes sense to invest?

For the first question:
-VP is not opposed to reform he supports some financing reform hence initiated the discussion. Email 1 last statement indicates that.
-Email 3 states that, where their supported candidate lost are on the verge of becoming majority population which means currently those are minorities. Also, they won among 63% of non-Hispanic whites, indicating they won only among one demography which was the majority.
- There is no specification regarding urban and rural populations.

For the second question:
None of the statements can be inferred since there is no discussion of employing new resources based on demography. Also, no mention of which minority demography they were more successful.

These questions are a subtle play on language and nothing more. Quite irritating to get these ones wrong. A larger test here is the attention to words like "ethnic minorities", something that wasn't directly visible in the emails. Thus one had to refocus on the "majority" non hispanic whites to dig in and find the "ethnic minorities".

1. In both parts of the problem, we are asked to check whether the following statements are supported by the text.

2. Part 1.

- The vice president is opposed to campaign finance reform. The vice president questions the financing (Email #1) but says nothing about a campaign reform. So, this statement isn't supported by the text.

- E.A.S.Y. Manufacturing supported candidates whose policy positions did not appeal to ethnic minorities. The chart in Email #2 clearly shows a decrease in support from ethnic minorities. So, this statement is supported by the text.

- Urban voters will control the results of elections by 2050. The third email tells us that the minority will have a more significant influence in the election. However, there is no information connecting them with urban voters. So, this statement isn't supported by the text.

3. Part 2.

- To elect more of the candidates whose policies the company supports, E.A.S.Y. Manufacturing must employ more Hispanics. The candidates that the company has supported aren't really backed by Hispanics; however, there is no evidence that Hispanic employees influence the election results. So, this statement isn't supported by the text.

- The legislative consultant will actively lobby Asian-American legislators, because the candidates that E.A.S.Y. Manufacturing supported were more successful with Asian-Americans than with other minority groups. The legislative consultant doesn't mention his plans in the email. So, this statement isn't supported by the text.
