| States or implies ‘No’ AND gives a reason, e.g. ‘Don’t know how many members there are in total’, ‘Hadon’s Gym could be a very small gym’, ‘Workout Palace could be a very large gym’, ‘because it does not say how many people are in either gym’, ‘we don’t know about the number of people’, ‘it doesn’t tell us how many men in the gyms’ | E1 | Ignore further spurious or irrelevant explanation if ‘no’ selected or unambiguously implied Allow, e.g. ‘don’t know because there are no numbers to indicate that there are more men’, Do not accept, e.g. ‘there is about the same number of men as women in both gyms’, ‘there are fewer children in Hadon’s gym so that means the percentage of men goes up’, ‘we don’t know the percentages’, ‘they asked different people’ |
