Smithtown University's fund-raisers succeeded in getting donations from 80 percent of the potential donors they contacted. This success rate, exceptionally high for university fund-raisers, does not indicate that they were doing a good job. On the contrary, since the people most likely to donate are those who have donated in the past, good fund-raisers constantly try less-likely prospects in an effort to expand the donor base. The high success rate shows insufficient canvassing effort.
Which of the following, if true, provides more support for the argument?
Smithtown University's fund-raisers were successful in their contacts with potential donors who had never given before about as frequently as were fund-raisers for other universities in their contacts with such people.
This year the average size of the donations to Smithtown University from new donors when the university's fund-raisers had contacted was larger than the average size of donations from donors who had given to the university before.
This year most of the donations that came to Smithtown University from people who had previously donated to it were made without the university's fund-raisers having made any contact with the donors.
The majority of the donations that fund-raisers succeeded in getting for Smithtown University this year were from donors who had never given to the university before.
More than half of the money raised by Smithtown University's fund-raisers came from donors who had never previously donated to the university.
C削弱了观点,
C的含义为:This year most of the donations ... having made any contact with the donors.
今年大部分donate的老人都没有fund-raiser联系过。 解读为:1 raiser联系了老人,没成功; 2 raiser没联系老人;
两种解读均削弱了论证,1代表年轻人可能投机取巧了,但并未在老人群体上得到便宜,在新人群体上拿下了80%高分,很努力。 2代表年轻人很努力,去正面刚新人群体,放着老人群体的肥肉不吃。
题干信息为:On the contrary, since the people most likely to ... expand the donor base.
即:好fund-raiser会多联系新人。
结合得出S校的fundraiser新人联系很多,是good raiser,削弱了不努力的结论。
