1000 CR test 11

Expert replies

Hi,

I thought the answer must be D) but in 1000 CR is says C)..... Can anyone explain??

An annually conducted, nationwide survey shows a continuing marked decline in the use of illegal drugs by high school seniors over the last three years.

Which of the following, if true, would provide most support for concluding from the survey results described above that the use of illegal drugs by people below the age of 20 is declining?
(A) Changes in the level of drug use by high school seniors are seldom matched by changes in the level of drug use by other people below the age of 20.
(B) In the past, high school seniors were consistently the population group most likely to use illegal drugs and most likely to use them heavily.
(C) The percentage of high school seniors who use illegal drugs is consistently very similar to the percentage of all people below the age of 20 who use illegal drugs.
(D) The decline revealed by the surveys is the result of drug education programs specifically targeted at those below the age of 20.
(E) The number of those surveyed who admit to having sold illegal drugs has declined even faster than has the number who have used drugs.

If D looks correct (it does, at first glance), the question-maker has been successful in tricking you!

Read again what is required.

What is given?
Survey shows declining drug use in high school seniors.
What do we want?
We want to conclude that drug use is declining in under-20 age group.

See the gap? Study is done for high school seniors, but conclusion is sought for under-20 age group.

What we need is a bridge which connects these two different groups. C provides exactly that. If C is true, we have enough facts to reach the conclusion we seek.

There is a catch in this word as well "over the last three years".

I must admit that D seems to be the answer.
