Community activist: If Morganville wants to keep its central shopping district healthy, it
should prevent the opening of a huge SaveAll discount department store on the outskirts of
Morganville. Records from other small towns show that whenever SaveAll has opened a store
outside the central shopping district of a small town, within five years the town has
experienced the bankruptcies of more than a quarter of the stores in the shopping district.
Theanswer to which of the following would be most useful for evaluating the
community activist's reasoning?
A. Have community activists in other towns successfully campaigned against the opening of a
SaveAll store on the outskirts of their towns?
B. Do a large percentage of the residents of Morganville currently do almost all of their shopping
at stores in Morganville?
C. In towns with healthy central shopping districts, what proportion of the stores in those districts
suffer bankruptcy during a typical five-year period?
D. What proportion of the employees at the SaveAll store on the outskirts of Morganville will be
drawn from Morganville?
E. Do newly opened SaveAll stores ever lose money during their first five years of operation?
