Expert replies
by BTGmoderatorDC » Tue Oct 15, 2019 7:16 pm
Shirla: In figure skating competitions that allow amateur and professional skaters to compete against each other, the professionals are bound to have an unfair advantage. After all, most of them became professional only after success on the amateur circuit.

Ron: But that means that it's been a long time since they've had to meet the more rigorous technical standards of the amateur circuit.

Which of the following is most likely a point at issue between Shirla and Ron?

A. Whether there should be figure skating competitions that allow amateur and professional skaters to compete against each other

B. Whether the scores of professional skaters competing against amateurs should be subject to adjustment to reflect the special advantages of professionals

C. Whether figure skaters can successfully become professional before success on the amateur circuit

D. Whether the technical standards for professional figure skating competition are higher than those for amateur figure skating competition

E. Whether professional figure skaters have an unfair advantage over amateur figure skaters in competitions in which they compete against each other

Option A - Incorrect:
This is not true because professionals are bound to have an unfair advantage since they became professional only after success on the amateur circuit.

Option B - Incorrect:
There is no statement on scores of professionals competing against amateur between Shirla and Ron. Hence, this doesn't point at the issue between them.

Option C - Incorrect:
According to Shirla's statement, most figure skaters became professional only after success on the amateur circuit. This claim is in opposition to the argument.

Option D - Incorrect:
The professionals had to meet the more rigorous technical standards of the amateur circuit. Therefore, it wasn't stated if professionals operate on a higher competition than amateurs.

Option E - Correct:
This claim points to issues between Shirla and Ron because most of the professional skaters became a professional only success on the amateur circuit. As a result of this, the professionals are bound to have an unfair advantage. This is the subject upon which the argument is based. Therefore, it is the correct option.
