Last year all refuse collected by Shelbyville city services was incinerated. This incineration generated a large quantity of residual ash. In order to reduce the amount of residual ash Shelbyville generates this year to half of last year's total, the city has revamped its collection program. This year city services will separate for recycling enough refuse to reduce the number of truckloads of refuse to be incinerated to half of last year's number.
Which of the following is required for the revamped collection program to achieve its aim?
Only a very small percentage of graduates from Peking University ever become board members of the 300 largest Chinese corporations. This shows that graduates from Peking University are underrepresented in the most important corporate boardrooms in China.
Which one of the following points out a flaw committed in the argument?
(A) Three hundred is too small a sample on which to base such a sweeping conclusion about Peking University graduates.
(B) It is irrelevant to smaller corporations whether the largest corporations in China would agree to have significant numbers of representatives from Peking University on the boards of the largest corporations.
(C) It is a mistake to take the 300 largest Chinese corporations to be typical of corporate boardrooms generally.
(D)The percentage of graduates from Peking University who serve on the boards of the 300 largest Chinese corporations reveals little about the percentage of the members of these boards who are from Peking University.
(E) The presence of graduates from Peking University on a corporate board does not necessarily imply that that corporation will be more financially successful than it has been in the past.
