PrepTest 92+, Section 1, Question 19
Productivity growth in industrialized nations has dropped substantially since computer technology became widespread in the 1960s and 1970s. Furthermore, productivity growth has dropped the most in industries that rely most heavily on computer technology. Thus, a business that has increased its reliance on computer technology probably has not improved its productivity growth by doing so.

Which one of the following, if true, most weakens the argument?
The industries that rely most heavily on computer technology have been burdened by inefficiencies that have substantially hindered their productivity growth.
Productivity growth in many less industrialized nations has also dropped substantially since the 1960s and 1970s.
Productivity growth in industries responsible for producing computer technology has increased substantially as computer technology has become more widespread.
Within any given industry, the businesses whose productivity growth has been greatest have been those that have invested most heavily in computer technology.
Within the next few years, recent technological advances will almost certainly make investments in computer technology among the most effective ways for any business to improve productivity.
