Hi,

The correct answer is C) but I am not sure why A is wrong? :shock:


In the course of her researches, a historian recently found two documents mentioning the same person, Erich Schnitzler. One, dated May 3, 1739, is a record of Schnitzler’s arrest for peddling without a license. The second, undated, is a statement by Schnitzler asserting that he has been peddling off and on for 20 years.
The facts above best support which of the following conclusions?
(A) Schnitzler started peddling around 1719.
(B) Schnitzler was arrested repeatedly for peddling.
(C) The undated document was written before 1765.
(D) The arrest record was written after the undated document.
(E) The arrest record provides better evidence that Schnitzler peddled than does the undated document.

Because we don’t know when the second document was written since it is “undated”, hence, we cannot assume that the second document was written in 1739. For instance, if the second document were written in 1740 that would mean that he starting peddling in 1720. We can only assume he was arrested several times.

A is clearly out. We do not know whether he was arrested before/after he made the assertion in an undated document.
B; Nothing points out to his arrest as a repititive incident
D; Again we can't determine whether he was arrested before/after the assertion
E; Incorrect conclusion from facts
C; Even if he was arrested when he started peddling, the assertion was made for sure before 1765
