解析
Evaluation of a Plan
Situation Members of the North Tarrytown town council argued for changing the town’s name to Sleepy Hollow (the name of a fictitious place in stories by early nineteenth-century author Washington Irving). The goal was to increase tourism.
Reasoning What unstated assumption is required for the council members’ argument to be logically compelling? Their argument was that people who associate the name Sleepy Hollow with the author Washington Irving would come to visit the town because of that association. The resulting influx of tourists would provide additional spending that would "immediately" result in financial benefits for the town’s inhabitants. There would not be such immediate benefits if the additional spending did lot outweigh the costs of the name change.
A This information about the popular acceptability of the name-change strategy could provide additional logical support for the proposal, but the information is not strictly required for the council members’ reasoning to logically succeed.
B If this occurred, it could benefit tourists and help enhance the town’s reputation as a tourist venue, thus helping the name-change plan attain its goals. But an assumption that this would occur is not necessary for the logical success of the council members’ reasoning.
C This could make it more likely that the proposed name-change strategy would attain its financial goals. But the council members’ reasoning does not have to assume that the relevant costs would be "very low "
D This information, if true, would help dispel any doubts as to whether the proposed name change would attain its goals. But it is not information that is necessary for the council members’ reasoning to logically succeed.
E Correct. To be logically successful, the council members’ reasoning requires that this be assumed. Part of the council members’ reasoning is that the proposed name change would "result immediately in financial benefits for the town’s inhabitants."This result will not occur unless the immediate costs associated with implementing the change are less than the revenue accruing to the town’s inhabitants as a result. In the medium and long term, the name change could provide increased financial benefits to the town inhabitants, but the council members’ reasoning requires that those benefits flow immediately.
The correct answer is E.
