Time and again it has been shown that students who attend colleges with low faculty/student ratios get the most well-rounded education. As a result, when my children are ready to attend college, I'll be sure they attend a school with a very small student population.
Which of the following, if true, identifies the greatest flaw in the reasoning above?
(A) A low faculty/student ratio is the effect of a well-rounded education, not its source.
(B) Intelligence should be considered the result of childhood environment, not advanced education.
(C) A very small student population does not by itself, ensure a low faculty/student ratio.
(D) Parental desires and preferences rarely determines a child's choice of a college or university.
(E) Students must take advantage of the low faculty/student ratio by intentionally choosing small classes.

If student population is low but faculty population is high, the ratio Faculty/ student ratio willn't be low.
For low Faculty/ student ratio, Faculty population should be significantly lower than the student population.

If we look at the argument, we see that there is a flaw in it. The person is talking about Student to Faculty ratio but then they change and talk about a small student population, thus we can immediately start checking if perhaps this was the flaw that was "baked" and indeed, C is the answer choice that seems to address it the best.

This is irrelevant for the core of the argument. This statement by the way is true, but not relevant in the argument. Out of scope.
Quote:
Maybe true but surely out of scope as well. Nothing in the argument talks about intelligence.

Our answer.
Quote:
Probably true as well but just as out of scope as the other options
Quote:
Interesting take. This is too narrow of a scope. This does not fit with the argument. Argument talked about colleges in general, and this is too specific.
