Global Stats

Sports analyst: 90% of Country D's tennis professionals achieve positions in the international top ten, usually before reaching the age of 20. It must be that Country D's population has genetic characteristics that are suited to playing the sport of tennis.
Tennis coach: That's not true. Country D's success in tennis is not related to genetics, but to the skills and experience of its players.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the tennis coach's objection to the analyst's claim?

A) The winner of last year's international tennis tour was a player from Country B.
B) The physique that a tennis player is born with is an extremely important factor that can affect that player's success as a professional.
C) In Country D's education, tennis is a compulsory activity that is taught to students through all twelve years of their formal education.
D) In the last Olympic Games, Country D did not win medals in any other discipline other than tennis.
E) Every year, 2% of Country D's tennis professionals are accused of using illegal substances to enhance their performance.

Now we are in a familiar territory. Many students love and relish sporting activities so much taht questions could be answered without reading sometimes.
Option A - INCORRECT.
This is only strengthening the analyst claim that there exists genetic characteristics among-st the populace of country D. This is false in relation to the tennis coach claim.

Option B - INCORRECT.
This is also not a position of sterling quality to the argument of the coach. A player should develop the physique while playing it should be a criterion for playing professional tennis.

Option C - CORRECT.
This is a strong point. One that explains the reason for country D's success as a result of hard work, tutelage and grooming right from the various schools all over the country.

Option D - INCORRECT.
This is a testament to how good the country is at playing professional tennis. In fact it weakens the analyst's position when you begin to reason that ''practice makes perfect''.

Option E - INCORRECT.
It is possible to assume they dope in country D because of their intimidating achievements in that field. But, it is difficult to presume hardworking players would want to cheat their way through. It's an innate quality they started doing right from school days.
