QUESTION

All of the following, if true, weaken Murray’s argument EXCEPT which one?

A) The program evaluations must be signed, with a copy sent to the participant’s supervisor.
B) The program evaluation is limited to asking how the participants benefited from the program and what lessons they learned.
C) Participants in the program are prescreened so that the program includes only those who support the program’s approach.
D) Surveys reveal that a substantial proportion of the employees oppose the organization’s diversity efforts.
E) Records of the program’s evaluations are held and maintained by the supporters of the program.

ANSWER

Answer: D
Explanation: D) Murray’s argument has plenty of holes, but Choice D isn’t one of them. If anything, Choice D weakens Fernandes’ argument. Choice A suggests that the evaluations may not be honest. Choices B and C suggest that the process is rigged to give positive results. Choice E suggests that the records of evaluations might not be reliable because the supporters of the program could have “lost” all the bad evaluations.
