A fascinating aspect of the modern community is its apparent preoccupation with the collection and dissemination of statistics. Never before has a community kept such meticulous records of how many people are born, how many die, how many are sick, how much is produced, how many are unemployed, how much they owe, what they intend to buy. These elaborate attempts to keep informed mean that the community is concerned about its members and about the conditions under which they live.
A person who believes that the modern community gathers statistics merely to exercise control over its members would most likely disagree with the use of which of the following phrases?
(A) "collection and dissemination of statistics"
necessary for devising means to exercise control over the community members with the final aim to exercise control over the members(B) "meticulous records"
records of members necessary for effective interpretation to assist in exercising control over them(C) "elaborate attempts"
necessary..in order to gain requisite data pertaining to the members , in order to exercise control(D) "concerned about"
not likely, as it will not assist in any manner to gain control over the members; hence disagree with this partcular phrase ie, the CORRECT answer(E) "the conditions under which they live"
present living conditions will throw the opportunities to be exploited towards gaining control over the membersHope this helps..
