gre argument 67题目：
The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a newspaper serving the villages of Castorville and Polluxton.
"Both the villages of Castorville and Polluxton have experienced sharp declines in the numbers of residents who pay property taxes(1). To save money and improve service, the two villages recently merged their once separate garbage collection departments into a single department located in Castorville, and the new department has reported few complaints about its service(2). Last year the library in Polluxton had 20 percent fewer users than during the previous year(3). It follows that we should now further economize and improve service(5), as we did with garbage collection(4), by closing the library in Polluxton(6) and using the library in Castorville to serve both villages(7)."
提纲：
(1)The number of residents who pay property taxes does not necessarily indicate the actual number of residents in the two villages, and the actual amount of taxes collected by the two villages.
(2)Few complaints about new department’s service do not indicate that citizens are satisfied with its service.
(3)The situation in Polluxton’s library may not be typical.
(4)Garbage collection service and library are not comparable.
(5)No evidence could guarantee that emergence of the two libraries could improve service.
(6)The author does not provide any information about the number of users at the two libraries, thus we cannot evaluate whether we should close the library in Polluxton if the emergence is indeed necessary.
(7)The author fails to consider the cost and other possible negative effects of merging the two libraries.
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。
