Q1 - Grecia: The survey that we

[ManhattanPrepLSAT1]

Question Type:
Strengthen (principle)

Stimulus Breakdown:
Hildago argues that rather than asking survey respondents for the exact age, we should only ask them to identify the age range they fall into, because we don't need results that provide employment status figures for every single age.

Answer Anticipation:
Since Hidalgo is advocating for less detailed information than Grecia, we'd like an answer that says something along the lines of, "we should only collect information at the level of detail that is needed."

Correct answer:
(A)

Answer choice analysis:
(A) is correct. This answer justifies Hidalgo's argument that the level of detail should exceed what is needed.

(B) is out of scope. Hidalgo doesn't include the issue of accuracy.

(C) is out of scope. HIdalgo doesn't include the issue of information security.

(D) undermines Hidalgo's argument. Hidalgo argues for less detailed information, not more.

(E) is out of scope. Hidalgo doesn't include the issue of informed consent.
