Passage Summary: A statistician argues that a magazine's poll is junk because the question was rigged and they only asked their own readers, who probably care about money more than the average person.

Conclusion: We should be skeptical of the magazine's claim that North Americans prioritize personal finances over politics.

Reasoning: The survey question was loaded and biased, and the group surveyed consists of a self-selecting sample of magazine subscribers who do not represent the general population.

Analysis: This is a 'Strengthen EXCEPT' question, so our task is to identify which four choices support the statistician's skepticism and which one does not. The statistician attacks the survey on two fronts: the wording of the question and the nature of the sample. To strengthen the argument, a choice could provide more evidence that the subscribers are unrepresentative or that the question wording skewed the results. The 'odd man out' will likely be a choice that either suggests the survey was actually well-designed or is simply irrelevant to the statistician's critique.
