Information and Ideas practice question

A librarian claims that the branch's Saturday story hour is drawing families who did not previously use the library.

Which finding, if true, would most directly support the librarian's claim?

  1. A. Of the 40 families who attended last Saturday, 28 signed up for library cards that day, having never held one.Correct
  2. B. The story hour is held at 10 a.m.
  3. C. The librarian reads three books each week.
  4. D. The branch has a children's section.

Answer: A. Of the 40 families who attended last Saturday, 28 signed up for library cards that day, having never held one.

Twenty-eight of forty families new to the library: the claim's evidence.

Why the other answers are wrong

B. The story hour is held at 10 a.m.
Timing says nothing about who attends.
C. The librarian reads three books each week.
Content, not attendance.
D. The branch has a children's section.
A section's existence doesn't show new families.
