Critical Reasoning

101.   The   trustees   of   the   Avonbridge   summer   drama   workshop   have   decided   to   offer   scholarships   to   the   top   10   percent   of   local   applicants   and   the   top   10   percent   of   nonlocal  applicants  as  judged  on  the  basis  of  a  qualifying  audition.  They  are  doing   this  to  ensure  that  only  the  applicants  with  the  most  highly  evaluated  auditions  are   offered  scholarships  to  the  program.  
 
  Which  one  of  the  following  points  out  why  the  trustees'  plan  might  not  be  effective   in  achieving  its  goal?    

(A)  The  best  actors  can  also  apply  for  admission  to  another  program  and  then  not   enrol  in  the  Avonbridge  program    
(B)   Audition   materials   that   produce   good   results   for   one   actor   may   disadvantage   another,  resulting  in  inaccurate  assessment    
(C)  The  top  10  percent  of  local  and  nonlocal  applicants  might  not  need  scholarships   to  the  Avonbridge  program    
(D)   Some   of   the   applicants   who   are   offered   scholarships   could   have   less   highly   evaluated   auditions   than   some   of   the   applicants   who   are   not   offered   scholarships    
(E)   Dividing   applicants   into   local   and   nonlocal   groups   is   unfair   because   it   favours   nonlocal  applicants  

Confused between b & D

D is correct
(B) Audition materials that produce good results for one actor may disadvantage another, resulting in inaccurate assessment

The conclusion is that the most highly evaluated auditions are given scholarships .Even if the materials were biased , this would not have any effect on the conclusion .

(D) Some of the applicants who are offered scholarships could have less highly evaluated auditions than some of the applicants who are not offered scholarships
The non local actors will be evaluated against other non local actors
Same for Local actors
What if the non local actors who are not given scholarships score higher than the top local actors , the conclusion that the most highly evaluated auditions are given scholarships will be weakened
