Question ID:PT87 S2 Q23 Passage:Critic: Journalists should have reasonable knowledge of statistics. If not, they can make errors that misinform the public. For example, based on a clearly flawed interpretation of polling data, one journalist erroneously reported that a certain candidate would win an election. Stem:The pattern of reasoning in the critic's argument is most similar to that in which one of the following arguments? Correct Answer Choice:BChoice A:Before being issued a driver's license, an applicant should demonstrate an understanding of the environmental effects of driving a fossil fuel-powered car and be aware of the steps that drivers can take to lessen that impact. Otherwise, there will be an unlimited increase in the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. Choice B:All elementary schools should have recess time. Otherwise, children can incur health risks due to insufficient exercise. As a case in point, in a school that had eliminated recess in favor of increased academic hours, the students were less physically fit than before the elimination of recess. Choice C:International travelers should have to be processed through border security at each frontier they cross. The inconvenience this might cause is something travelers must tolerate. Otherwise, safety would be sacrificed for mere convenience. Choice D:All public officials should study ethics prior to or while holding their official position. The study of ethics would enable officials to anticipate the moral pitfalls that characterize public service as well as to withstand the tendency to use public service for private gain.  Choice E:Toy manufacturers should be required to record the place and date a toy was made on the toy itself. Otherwise, if the information is recorded on the package only, the purchaser can easily discard the package, thus losing this information, which would make it impossible to respond to manufacturer recalls.
