CR 1000 question explanation

14. Surveys indicate that 52 percent of all women aged eighteen to sixty-five are in the labor force (employed outside the home) in any given month. On the basis of these surveys, a market researcher concluded that 48 percent of all women aged eighteen to sixty-five are full-time homemakers year-round.
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the researcher’s conclusion?
(A) More women are in the labor force today than during any other period since the Second World War.
(B) Many workers, both men and women, enter and exit the labor force frequently.
(C) Although only a small sample of the total population is surveyed each month, these samples have been found to be a reliable indicator of total monthly employment.
(D) Surveys show that more women than ever before consider having a rewarding job an important priority.
(E) Women who are in the labor force have more discretionary income available to them than do women who are not.

The OA for this is B.

I happen to pick up the right answer in this one through POE cause other choices seemed irrelavant or out of context.

The premise is that 52% of all women aged 18-65 are in labor force for any given month then how would men leaving/joining the labor force would affect the women stats aged 18-65. I was somewhat unclear on this one.

Since you said you eliminated the other choices, I will not go into eliminating the other answer choices. They are fairly simple to eliminate anyways. The reason B works is because of 1, yes just 1, keyword: "year-round."

"a market researcher concluded that 48 percent of all women aged eighteen to sixty-five are full-time homemakers year-round."

(B) Many workers, both men and women, enter and exit the labor force frequently.
--> states women enter and exit the work force frequently, which weakens the argument that the other group of women are year-round homemakers.
--> I posted a blog post about this issue. Pay particular attention to certain "qualifying" keywords that reduce/limit/narrow the scope of the argument made by the author. Look for answer choices that attack this "qualifier" to weaken the question. In this case, the qualifier is "year-round" and the answer choices weakens the argument by stating that women change frequently and thus will not be year-round homemakers.

CHEERS!
