Technological education is worsening

Expert replies

Technological education is worsening. People between eighteen and twenty-four, who are just emerging from their formal education, are more likely to be technologically illiterate than somewhat older adults. And yet, issues for public referenda will increasingly involve aspects of technology.

Which of the following conclusions can be properly drawn from the statements above?

(A) If all young people are to make informed decisions on public referenda, many of them must learn more about technology.

(B) Thorough studies of technological issues and innovations should be made a required part of the public and private school curriculum.

(C) It should be suggested that prospective voters attend applied science courses in order to acquire a minimal competency in technical matters.

(D)If young people are not to be overly influenced by famous technocrats, they must increase their knowledge of pure science.

(E) On public referenda issues, young people tend to confuse real or probable technologies with impossible ideals.

My pick A

(A) If all young people are to make informed decisions on public referenda, many of them must learn more about technology.

Keep aside as its not too harsh

(B) Thorough studies of technological issues and innovations should be made a required part of the public and private school curriculum.

Should be made - strong words for conclusion

(C) It should be suggested that prospective voters attend applied science courses in order to acquire a minimal competency in technical matters.

Prospective voters?? Is that a stretch? I am not sure. Applied science courses?? Is applied science == technological aspects. Confusing keep aside

(D)If young people are not to be overly influenced by famous technocrats, they must increase their knowledge of pure science.

again must increase and also goes out of the scope of their knowledge vs influence

(E) On public referenda issues, young people tend to confuse real or probable technologies with impossible ideals.

Out of scope to me as there are no ideals referred to in stimulus

I picked A between A & C as it conveys the meaning that with out good technical knowledge young people cannot make informed decisions

It is A hands down.Becuase issues for public referenda will increasingly involve aspects of technology, young people must learn more about technology to make informed decisions on public referenda.OA?

From the question, it is clear that some young people already do know about technology. For all young people to be informed, the rest will need to learn about technology-- it is not the case that all will need to learn about technology, since some already know about it.

Still, that's not the main reason why A is a much better answer than B. The question is: 'Which of the following conclusions can be properly drawn?'. The question is not 'What policy decision would help to address this problem?' B offers a solution to the problem- not the only solution, mind you, but one possible solution. It's not a logical conclusion to draw from the facts presented; it's an opinion about what should be done about those facts.

On the other hand, A simply rephrases the information in the question; it's a perfectly logical conclusion to draw from the information presented.
