Passage Summary: Rita thinks the survey is useless because people lie, while Hiro thinks the survey is still helpful for comparing groups even if the total counts are off.

Reasoning: Rita claims survey data is misleading because of lying; Hiro concedes the lying but argues the data remains useful for determining relative rates.

Analysis: The crux of the disagreement is the utility of the survey data in the face of known inaccuracies. While both speakers agree that the raw numbers are underestimates due to lying, they disagree on whether this lying invalidates the entire data set. Rita takes a hard line, calling the results 'misleading' regardless of the perspective. Hiro, however, believes the 'relative rates'—the comparison between groups—can still be accurate. Look for an answer that focuses on whether the survey can provide reliable information about the proportions or relative differences between the groups studied.
