PrepTest 86, Section 2, Question 11
To be considered for this year's Gillespie Grant, applications must be received in Gillespie City by October 1. It can take up to ten days for regular mail from Greendale to reach Gillespie City. So if Mary is sending an application by regular mail from Greendale, she will be considered for the grant only if her application is mailed ten days before the due date.

The reasoning in the argument is flawed in that the argument
does not establish that Mary is applying for the Gillespie Grant or mailing anything from Greendale
does not determine how long it takes express mail to reach Gillespie City from Greendale
does not consider the minimum amount of time it takes regular mail from Greendale to reach Gillespie City
presumes, without providing justification, that if Mary's application is received in Gillespie City by October 1, she will satisfy all of the other requirements of the Gillespie Grant application
overlooks the possibility that Mary cannot be certain that her application will arrive in Gillespie City unless she sends it by express mail
