Question ID:PT40 S3 Q21 Passage:Administrator:  Because revenue fell by 15 percent this year, the university needs to reduce next year's budget. This could be accomplished by eliminating faculty positions. It could also be accomplished by reducing faculty salaries. Since we will not eliminate any faculty positions, we must reduce faculty salaries.  Stem:The administrator's reasoning is flawed because the administrator Correct Answer Choice:BChoice A:presumes, without providing justification, that more money would be saved by reducing faculty salaries than would be saved by eliminating faculty positions Choice B:presumes, without providing justification, that the budget cannot be reduced unless faculty positions are eliminated or faculty salaries are reduced Choice C:ignores the possibility that, though budget cuts will be needed, they will not need to be as high as 15 percent Choice D:presumes, without providing justification, that some faculty members will leave their jobs rather than accept a reduced salary Choice E:ignores the possibility that the budget could be reduced by eliminating some faculty positions and reducing the remaining faculty members' salaries
