22. The trustees of the Avonbridge summer drama workshop have decided to offer scholarships to the top 10 percent of local applicants and the top 10 percent of nonlocal applicants as judged on the basis of a qualifying audition. They are doing this to ensure that only the applicants with the most highly evaluated auditions are offered scholarships to the program. Which one of the following points out why the trustees' plan might not be effective in achieving its goal? (A) The best actors can also apply for admission to another program and then not enroll in the Avonbridge program (B) Audition materials that produce good results for one actor may disadvantage another, resulting in inaccurate assessment (C) The top 10 percent of local and nonlocal applicants might not need scholarships to the Avonbridge program (D) Some of the applicants who are offered scholarships could have less highly evaluated auditions than some of the applicants who are not offered scholarships (E) Dividing applicants into local and nonlocal groups is unfair because it favors nonlocal applicants
答案D。
我没想明白的是，D这种情况这么会发生的。上文不是说根据audition 来定scholarship 吗，那么拿到scholarship 的人的audition一定比没拿到的要 higer in evaluation results呀？
hi, there, the question is typical as a weakening point. the best answer is to testify the author's suggestion can not achieved at all. For this one, the trustee suggests only giving scholarships to the top applicants to the program. However, s/he can't guarantee how to decide who are the ones on the top with the most highly evaluated audition. And choice D is the case, and thus the best answer.

此题是削弱。原文结论为：“They are doing this to ensure that only the applicants with the most highly evaluated auditions are offered scholarships to the program.”请注意“only”这个词。按照题意，10％的local 与 10％的nonlocal 将获奖学金。很可能出现的情况之一是90％的local中有人会强于那10％的nonlocal中某人。
I tink Snazzy's explanations are perfect. But you did not realy understand it or the way of LSat thinking. However, Freelance's is out of track, but you feel it makes sense to you.
There are several ways to weaken the conclusion; find gap between the reason and conclusion or just say that the condition discribed by the reason or the conclusion is impossible. " D" exactly does the job.
