Atrainer arranged for one of her employee training groups to see the video made from the book effective time management, while all her other training groups read the book without seeing the video. she wanted to know whether videos could be used as effective aids in teaching time management. she tested each group for knowledge and ability to apply the concepts covered after each type of instruction. on all tests, the group that saw the video did better. this group became so interested in effective time management that most individuals in the group chose to read the book, for the first time, entirely on their own initiative. the tests the trainer gave were intended to measure more than just recall of facts about the book. true probably true insufficient data probably false false

I would say that the best answer to the statement: The tests the trainer gave were intended to measure more than just recall of facts about the book, would be: False.

Explanation:

The example that we are shown here comes from situations that are given in a test that is known as the Watson Glaser Critical Thinking Test, and they are intended to measure the capability that a person has to reason, and think critically.

In this case, we would say that the statement is false regarding the case in question, because the trainer issues the tests not to measure either the recall, or the abilities and concepts that the students acquired from the book, but she actually wanted to see if the video format of teaching was actually more efficient than the actual book. Given that this was her intention, to measure the video vs. the book, in achieving her final goal, which was acquirement of skills and concepts on Time Management, her test must have been geared towards that end, and not to simply measure the book´s impact. It was a bonus that afterwards she found that those students who were exposed to the video later on decided to read the book. Given the information on the case itself, we can reason that the answer is false.
