Question ID:PT36 S3 Q24 Passage:A newspaper article on Britain's unions argued that their strength was declining.  The article's evidence was the decreasing number and size of strikes, as if the reason for the unions' existence was to organize strikes.

They can concentrate their efforts on working with others in the labor market to achieve common goals, such as profitable and humane working conditions.

Correct Answer Choice:CChoice A:questioning the accuracy of the statistical evidence that the newspaper article uses Choice B:detailing historical changes that make the newspaper article's analysis outdated Choice C:reinterpreting evidence that the newspaper article uses as indicating the opposite of what the newspaper concludes Choice D:arguing that the newspaper article's conclusion is motivated by a desire to change the role of unions Choice E:pointing to common interests among unions and management which the newspaper article ignores
