Soccer Coach problem

by yvonne0923 » Mon Apr 04, 2011 9:25 pm
The soccer coach at Atoms College would like to run a three-week 'soccer camp' for high school students in July on the college campus. This would be a private operation of his own, but he would rent the college's playing field and locker rooms. The 'campers' would be housed in college dormitories, and would pay for their room and board there. The coach points out that this arrangement would be advantageous for the college, since it would generate some income from facilities that would normally be unused during the summer.

Which of the following is a compelling argument against the coach's plans?


A. The professional staff of the college library is unavailable during the summer months.
B. There is little reason to believe that the most talented athletes who attend the soccer camp will enroll at Atoms when they graduate from high school.
C. The dormitories and other facilities may be damaged by the high school students who would be living away from home for the first time.
D. Hosting such a camp will give Atoms College an undesirable reputation as a soccer school.
E. Atoms College has traditionally had a stronger program in basketball than in soccer.

IMO C .

The argument states - " The coach points out that this arrangement would be advantageous for the college, since it would generate some income from facilities that would normally be unused during the summer."

So any option that goes against the advantage of college should be the right answer . Option C states for damage to the college property hence this acts against the coach's plan.
Thanks & Regards,

argument against the coach's plans - dormitories and other facilities may be damaged by the high school students - leading to loss of income for the school
