Consultant: Most workers do not have every item they produce judged for quality, but each piece a freelance writer authors is evaluated. That is why freelance writers produce such high-quality work.

Summary

A Consultant argues freelance writers produce high-quality work because they have each piece of their work evaluated by someone else. This is unlike most other workers whose products are not all individually evaluated.

Strongly Supported Conclusions

Having all of one’s work evaluated causes some people to produce better work.

A
A piece authored by a freelance writer is generally evaluated more strictly than the majority of items most workers produce.

The stimulus does not say anything about the “strictness” of an evaluation. Thus, there is no support for the notion that freelance writers are evaluated more strictly even though more of their work is evaluated.

B
By having every piece of their work evaluated, some workers are caused to produce high-quality work.

The stimulus says that freelance writers produce high-quality work because each piece is evaluated. Thus, it is supported that the process of evaluating causes some workers (freelance writers) to produce high-quality work.

C
No other workers produce higher quality work than do freelance writers.

This is far too strong to support. The stimulus says that freelance writers produce high-quality work, not the *highest-quality* work.

D
Only freelance writers have every item they produce evaluated for quality.

The stimulus does not say that *only* freelance writers have every item they produce evaluated. It only says that most other professions do not.

E
Some workers produce high-quality work in spite of the fact that not every item they produce is judged for quality.

While this could be true, nothing in the stimulus says that there are people who produce high-quality work without being evaluated. The stimulus only tells us that freelance writers produce high-quality work.
