LSAT Preptest 149, Section 1, Question 7

"Rita: No matter how you..."

Explanation

In this dialogue, Rita and Hiro are discussing the reliability of survey results and the accuracy of the numbers collected based on people's tendency to lie on such surveys.

A. (Correct Response) Rita and Hiro disagree on whether the survey results are misleading. Rita holds that the results are misleading in an absolute sense, while Hiro believes that the results can still provide accurate relative rates despite the lies.


B. Both Rita and Hiro agree that people tend to lie on such surveys, so there is no disagreement here.


C. There is no explicit discussion about the adequacy of a different measurement type, so this is not the focus of their disagreement.


D. Hiro does not dispute that the raw numbers are underestimates; he believes the relative rates are accurate despite this, which is not a point of disagreement.


E. The adequacy of the survey size is not mentioned by either party as a point of contention.

The main disagreement between Rita and Hiro is whether the survey results are misleading in their entirety (Rita's view) or if they can still provide accurate relative information despite the lies (Hiro's view), which aligns with option A.
