Question
17

Which one of the following points out a flaw committed in the argument?

Six hundred is too small a sample on which to base so sweeping a conclusion about the representation of people from the service professions.

The percentage of people from the service professions who serve on the boards of the 600 largest North American corporations reveals little about the percentage of the members of these boards who are from the service professions.

It is a mistake to take the 600 largest North American corporations to be typical of corporate boardrooms generally.

It is irrelevant to smaller corporations whether the largest corporations in North America would agree to have significant numbers of workers from the service professions on the boards of the largest corporations.

The presence of people from the service professions on a corporate board does not necessarily imply that that corporation will be more socially responsible than it has been in the past.
