Here we have a resolve reconcile explain question, since it asks: Which one of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy?
Our stimulus begins by telling us that Mr. Young has the highest rate of unsuccessful collections at a collection agency. However, he is the best bill collector the agency has. The discrepancy is that we would expect a good bill collector to have less unsuccessful collections. We want to resolve this discrepancy by finding an answer choice which explains why Mr. Young might have a lot of unsuccessful collections in a way that is compatible with him being the best bill collector. Let’s see what we get!
Correct Answer Choice (A) This does exactly what we want! It would make sense that the hardest cases go to the best bill collector, and that the difficulty of these cases would lead to more unsuccessful collections.
Answer Choice (B) That’s very nice of the other bill collectors, but their opinions don’t do anything to explain why he has so many unsuccessful cases!
Answer Choice (C) Interesting! But again, his rate of collections remaining constant doesn’t explain a high rate of failed collections compared to others.
Answer Choice (D) Save it for his biography, this does nothing to help us!
Answer Choice (E) This just gives us another reason why we’d expect him to have a lower rate of unsuccessful collections compared to his juniors.
