GRE argument 125题目：
The following is a recommendation from the president of Appleby College.
"Whereas Appleby College holds class reunions every five years, Edelston College holds annual reunions for all classes, during which Edelston's alumni are treated to banquets, lectures, and student performances(4), enhancing their loyalty to the college and their willingness to donate money(3). Edelston College receives most of its alumni donations(1) during or shortly after these reunions(2). Therefore, the best way(8) for Appleby to increase its alumni donations(6) is to offer similar reunion activities(5) and to have each graduating class hold annual reunions(7)."
提纲：
(1)The president does not inform us the total amount of donations received by the two colleges, thus we cannot evaluate if Edelston’s reunion activities are more effective.
(2)Granted that Edelston did receive more donations per person than Appleby, we cannot guarantee that it is the activities mentioned that contributed to the donation.
(3)The president’s assumption that Edelston receive more donations because of alumni’s loyalty and willingness to donate money is open to doubt. Alumni may donate their money for other purpose.
(4)The president fails to consider the cost of Edelston’s reunion activities.
(5)Edelston and Appleby may not be comparable, thus merely copying Edelston’s activities may not generate the same result at Appleby.
(6)The president fails to substantiate a critical assumption that Appleby’s alumni could give out significantly more money if reunions are held more frequently.
(7)The president fails to consider if most alumni are able to or willing to attend the reunions if reunions are hold annually.
(8)The president overlooks other possible methods to increase Appleby’s alumni donations.
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。
