题目:
Ten years after graduation, men and women who had participated in the Thompson High School basketball program were surveyed with regard to their individual playing records for their teams. Some of the results of the survey were curious. Seventy-five percent of those responding reported that they had started for their respective boys’ or girls’ teams, when the actual number of boys and girls who had started for their teams was only 50%.
Which one of the following provides the most helpful explanation for the apparent contradiction in these survey results?
选项:
A、A. A very small number of those responding were incorrect in reporting that they held starting positions.
B、B. A disproportionately high number of players who started for their teams responded to the survey.
C、C. Not all starting players responded to the survey.
D、D. Almost all men and women who played basketball for Thompson High School ten years earlier responded to the survey.
E、E. Not all good basketball players started for their teams; some good players were deliberately held out to play later in the game.
答案:
B
