medium · LSAT Logical Reasoning

A tech company observed that its software developers produced more lines of code on days when they worked from home. Clearly, working from home increases developer productivity.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

  1. The company supplies its remote developers with high-speed internet connections and ergonomic furniture that could aid their focus at home.
  2. Surveys conducted at comparable software firms show that most employees there clearly prefer a hybrid schedule over working entirely on-site.
  3. Whether a given stretch of finished code is counted as many lines or few varies with the particular programming language a developer uses.
  4. Developers tend to reserve their home days for assignments that are simple and repetitive and that naturally generate a large volume of code.
  5. Some of the firm's most prolific developers actually produce far less code on their designated home days than the overall company average.
