Reading the passage
The feared problem rarely happens. That is the response to the concern about hung juries: they occurred in “no more than 1 percent” of the Canadian trials studied.
What we’re looking for
For the analogy, keep both the worry and the response. A hung jury could still disrupt a trial. The point is that its rarity limits the overall burden; it is not that disruption is impossible.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
Replacing a broken computer system can be expensive, just as a hung jury can be disruptive. But so few systems break that the manufacturer can afford the total replacement costs. This preserves the connection between an occasional costly event and its manageable overall burden.
- B
This uses rare accidents to justify dropping a precaution. But attentiveness might be what keeps accidents rare. The court argument does not recommend abandoning whatever makes hung juries uncommon.
- C
This predicts how a price increase would affect attendance and revenue. It does not answer a feared cost by showing that the costly event rarely occurs.
- D
This says careful measurement takes time but is necessary for successful bread. It accepts a cost as necessary, rather than showing that a troublesome event is rare.
- E
This moves from what most part-time students do to a prediction about Jerri. It does not use the rarity of a problem to limit an overall burden.
