gre argument 169题目：
The following appeared in a letter from a department chairperson to the president of Pierce University.
"Some studies conducted by Bronston College, which is also located in a small town, reveal that both male and female professors are happier(1) living in small towns when their spouses are also employed in the same geographic area. Therefore, in the interest of attracting the most(5) gifted teachers and researchers to our faculty and improving the morale of our entire(3) staff(5), we at Pierce University should offer employment to the spouse of each new faculty member we hire(2,4,7,9). Although we cannot expect all offers to be accepted or to be viewed as an ideal job offer, the money invested in this effort will clearly be well spent(6) because, if their spouses have a chance of employment, new professors will be more likely to accept our offers(8)."
提纲：
(1)The fact that professors are happier living in small towns might be due to other factors, but not because they are living together with their spouses.
(2)The chairperson fails to consider the possible differences between Bronston College and Pierce University, thus merely copying Bronston’s activity may not be same effective at Pierce.
(3)The chairperson fails to point out what fraction of our faculty will be new members, thus the assumption that the morale of entire staff could be improved is open to doubt.
(4)The chairperson fails to consider many other relevant factors that may influence new professors’ decision.
(5)Even if the proposed actions are effective in attracting new professors, we cannot guarantee that the action will attract the most gifted teachers and researchers, and necessarily improving the morale of stuff.
(6)The chairperson does not analyze the cost of the proposed actions, hence we cannot evaluate if the new professors attracted by the action are worthy of the investment.
(7)The chairperson fails to consider if the university has the capability of offering employment to the spouse of every new faculty member.
(8)The chairperson fails to illustrate that new gifted professors will not accept our offers if we do not offer such employment.
(9)The chairperson overlooks other better ways to achieve the same result.
注：题目中括号里的数字表明这句话体现的是提纲中第几号缺陷。
