PrepTest 76, Section 3, Question 5
Scholar: Recently, some religions have updated the language of their traditional texts and replaced traditional rituals with more contemporary ones. These changes have been followed by increases in attendance at places of worship affiliated with these religions. This shows that any such modernization will result in increased numbers of worshipers.

The scholar's reasoning is flawed because the scholar presumes without giving sufficient justification that
not every religion can update its texts and replace its traditional rituals
modernization of religious texts and rituals will not involve an alteration of their messages
the modernization of the texts and rituals of some religions was the cause of their increases in attendance
making texts and rituals more modern is the only way in which a religion could bring about an increase in attendance at places of worship
the growth in attendance at places of worship affiliated with religions that made their texts and rituals more modern is irreversible
