Jablonski, who owns a car dealership, has donated cars to driver education programs at area schools for over five years. She found the statistics on car accidents to be disturbing, and she wanted to do something to encourage better driving in young drivers. Some members of the community have shown their support for this action by purchasing cars from Jablonski’s dealership.

Summary
Jablonski was disturbed by car accident statistics and wanted to encourage better driving for young drivers. She owns a car dealership and has donated cars to driver education programs for several years. As a result, some members of the community have purchased cars from Jablonski’s dealership in order to show support for her.

Strongly Supported Conclusions
Some actions that are intended to benefit others can have positive impacts on the person performing that action.

A
The only way to reduce traffic accidents is through driver education programs.
This answer is unsupported. Saying that driver education programs are the “only” way to reduce traffic accidents is too strong. We don’t even know from the stimulus if Jablonski’s actions actually reduced traffic accidents.
B
Altruistic actions sometimes have positive consequences for those who perform them.
This action is strongly supported. Jablonski donated cars from her dealership for a public benefit and ended up benefitting from members of the community buying cars from her.
C
Young drivers are the group most likely to benefit from driver education programs.
This answer is unsupported. Saying that young drivers are “most likely to benefit” from these programs is too strong.
D
It is usually in one’s best interest to perform actions that benefit others.
This answer is unsupported. We don’t know whether these actions are “usually” in one’s best interest. The stimulus only covers one example of Jablonski donating cars.
E
An action must have broad community support if it is to be successful.
This answer is unsupported. We don’t know from the stimulus if broad community support is required for an action to be successful. We also don’t know whether Jablonski was successful through her actions to reduce traffic accidents.
