A certain multiple choice test contains 30 biology questions, 40 math questions, and 30 physical science questions. In order to pass the exam, a student must answer at least 60% of the questions correctly, so they must get at least half of the questions correct in each section.

Which of the following is a flaw in the passage’s reasoning?
  1. A student could miss exactly half in each section and still pass.
  2. The exam does not require a minimum score in each section.
  3. The exam does require a minimum score in each section.
  4. The exam is designed to progress in difficulty.
  5. Science questions are harder than math questions so students must focus on them more.
Explanation
Answer: B - A flaw in the passage’s reasoning is that the exam does not require a minimum score in each section. The exam just requires a score of 60% but does not specify a minimum score for each section; a student could completely fail one section and still have the points to pass the exam.
