Q8:
Community activist: If Morganville wants to keep its central shopping district healthy, it
should prevent the opening of a huge SaveAll discount department store on the outskirts
of Morganville. Records from other small towns show that whenever SaveAll has
opened a store outside the central shopping district of a small town, within five years the
town has experienced the bankruptcies of more than a quarter of the stores in the
shopping district.
The answer to which of the following would be most useful for evaluating the community
activist’s reasoning?
A. Have community activists in other towns successfully campaigned against the
opening of a SaveAll store on the outskirts of their towns?
B. Do a large percentage of the residents of Morganville currently do almost all of
their shopping at stores in Morganville?
