PrepTest 92+, Section 1, Question 20

Difficulty: 
Passage
Game

Mr. Klemke argues that the complaints recently lodged against his roofing company are unfounded, on the grounds that each of the complainants disagrees with Klemke's widely known political views and is therefore biased. However, having a different political outlook from Klemke's would in no way prevent one from being badly treated by his company. Clearly, then, the complaints are not, as Mr. Klemke alleges, unfounded.
