Question

The author supports her argument that zoos fail to educate the public about wildlife conservation by using the following evidence.

In January 2014, the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA) conducted a survey of people who had recently visited a zoo. The survey found that fewer than 10 percent of zoo visitors left their visit with a greater understanding of biodiversity and its importance. An even smaller percentage — only 4.5 percent — said they would support conservation by supporting zoos or by other means. Evaluate the extent to which the evidence represents logical reasoning.

(A) The reasoning logically uses data collected by an organization of zoos to indicate that any efforts they are making to educate visitors are falling short.
(B) The reasoning logically uses statistics collected from various locations to indicate that only a small percentage of zoos really provide educational material.
(C) The evidence fails to represent logical reasoning because it relies on the reader's own experience with zoos and aquariums to develop conclusions.
(D) The evidence fails to represent logical reasoning because it suggests that zoos could do better at educating the public if they had more support and sympathy.
