题目：ARGUMENT161 - In a study of reading habits of Leeville citizens conducted by the University of Leeville, most respondents said they preferred literary classics as reading material. However, a follow-up study conducted by the same researchers found that the type of book most frequently checked out of each of the public libraries in Leeville was the mystery novel. Therefore, it can be concluded that the respondents in the first study had misrepresented their reading habits.

In the argument, by make a comparison between literary classic as the result of a study of reading habits conducted in University of Leeville and mystery novel as the result of another study of the public libraries in Leeville, the argument concludes the respondents in the first study misrepresented their reading habits due to the distinct results of two studies. However, the argument lacks a series of information that can be the possible factors lead to different result in two studies.

To begin with, the author fails to take the time between two studies into account. It is possible that it is a long period of time that has changed the structure of population of Leeville senior people in the first study who prefer to
literary classics rather than mystery novel responded by young people in the later study .Or consider the popular season that literary classics time in the first study and it is the popular with mystery novel during the second study time. Without ruling out these possibilities above, the difference between two studies is reasonable.

Besides, the respondents it also important to the result. The author provides no evidence about the respondents that whether they are a group of people who can representative of citizens of Leeville as a whole. Perhaps in the first study respondents are a group of students in the university whose
major is literaure.Assuming that respondents in the latter study do represente the reading habitat of Leeville citizens. In this case, it is just the researcher’s fault not the misrepresentation of respondents in the first study.

In addition, the author overlooks the distinct between libraries. It is likely that the amount of books especially classic literary of library in university is larger than that in public libraries. In this case, citizens prefer to go to university to borrow books. Or perhaps the price of classic literary is much cheaper than mystery novel so that citizen could afford them.

Finally, the definition of mystery novel and literary classics is unclear. It is entire possible that a book could regard as mystery novel and literary classic at the same time.Odyseey, for instance, which could regard as classic literary due to the story described happened in ancient Greek, while the story is make by author not reality so that it could be mystery novel too.Libaray is replete with such books that between the line of classics literary and mystery novel. Hence, the author could not conclude that respondents misrepresented in the first study.

In sum, the author should make the conclusion before consider the several factors like time, respondents, libraies and definition of books may differentiate the results of two studies.
