Hi!

This question makes absolutely no sense! Aside from all of the transcription errors, the question stem suggests that 4 of the answers are valid inferences based on the information provided above. However, NONE of the answers are "must be true"s, so all 5 of them are correct!

Looking at each choice:

A) It's also possible that the interests of justice would be better served by charging both of them.
B) How do we know if Alicia barely missed hitting a pedestrian?
C) How do we know their past driving records?
D) How do we know if Alicia has previously stolen the car?
E) How do we know if Peter jumped a red light or if Alicia was super careful?

Now, B, C, D and E are all completely outside the scope. This leads me to believe that A is the correct answer to a completely different question:
If all of the statements above are true, which of the following MUST BE FALSE?
or:
If all of the statements above are true, then each of the following could be true EXCEPT:
since "must be false" and "could be true except" are different ways of asking the same question.

Dear Stuart,

u r right..This one has "frustrated" me heavily.. Sorry for the original poster. Wondering what if Testluv or stacey would have seen this post.. Hahhaha!!

No option really fits the bill. I really tried very hard to oil my brain to get " some" answer...
