22.(B)   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.（D）

(E) Dividing applicants into local and nonlocal groups is unfair because it favors nonlocal applicants.

I think A, B are all explainable to the non-effectiveness of the trustees’ plan.

A the best actors can also apply for admission to another program and then not enroll in the avonbridge program, so I think that they can not ensure that only the applicants with the most highly evaluated auditions are offered scholarships to the program

B also shows that there is chance that the most highly evaluated auditions can’t be expressed by some top students who may be disadvantaged by audition material that do not produce good results for them

in another word, the goal is that those who are offered schalorship are only those with most highly evaluated auditions.

A refers those who are actually not offered schalorship, thus, is irrelvent.

B the workshop only care about ensuring those most highly marked with schalorship. whether it is fair is another issue.

Thanks a lot, hedonism555. Such kind of errors I made a lot of times, I really need to understand them well.
