RC Question 10 Explanation

QUESTION TEXT: Which one of the following, if true, would pose …

DISCUSSION: Passage B explains that SafeSave’s clients repay loans faster because of the program’s design (daily contact, flexible transactions, and individualized lending).

To challenge this, we need a fact showing that something other than their system explains the faster repayment (i.e. that some other factor would naturally produce faster repayment regardless of the system’s design).

___________

1. Loan size doesn’t undermine that SafeSave’s system causes faster repayment.
2. This might affect scale but doesn’t challenge why repayment is faster.
3. Sure, but this still doesn’t contradict the explanation.
4. CORRECT. If SafeSave’s clients are less poor, then their faster repayment could be due to greater financial stability. This undermines that faster repayment is because of SafeSave’s design.
5. This doesn’t affect the relative comparison between SafeSave and Grameen.
