In a psychological experiment conducted at South Bay University, groups of men with various levels of education read stories in which people caused harm, some of them doing so intentionally, and some accidentally. When asked about appropriate penalizationfor those who had caused harm, the less educated men, unlike the educated ones, assigned punishments that did not vary according to whether the harm was done intentionally or accidentally.

Q:Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the conclusion above?

• In these stories, the severity of the harm produced was clearly stated A
• In interpreting these stories, the listeners had to draw on a relatively feminine sense of human psychology in order to tell whether harm was produced intentionally or accidentally B
