archaeological museum

by NSNguyen » Thu Sep 11, 2008 8:11 am
Questions have arisen regarding the accuracy of the reports the university’s archaeological museum issues on its sales and acquisitions for the year. To forestall controversy, this year’s report is being reviewed by three archaeologists from other universities. Since these archaeologists will be given full access to all documents on which the report is based, they will be able to determine whether it is indeed accurate.
The reasoning in the argument is flawed because the argument
(A) does not specify whether the reviewers will have access to data about objects that have been in the museum’s collection for many years
(B) provides no information regarding the size or quality of the archaeological museum’s collection
(C) omits any mention of whether the museum’s collection is on display or is available only to researchers
(D) ignores the possibility that there might have been some sales or acquisitions during the past year that were not mentioned in the documents on which the report was based
(E) does not describe what will occur if the reviewers discover discrepancies between the report and the documents on which it was based
Please share your idea and your reasoning :D

D - If the documents and evidence provided to the 3 archaeologists are wrong, the report will not be accurate.

I agree with CappyAA. The report is only as good as the information used to create it.

What is the OA?
