Patrons of a new restaurant suffered from food poisoning; therefore, all restaurants should be inspected before they are allowed to open.
Which of the following arguments most closely parallels the argument above?
A. Because many new diets do not produce the results claimed by their authors, new diets should be carefully tested by dieters under medical supervision.
B. Although smoking has not been proven to cause lung cancer, the correlation between smoking and lung cancer is so persuasive that cigarettes should be banned.
C. The new trucks, designed with gas tanks over the wheel wells, have exploded in several collisions; therefore, the company will be named in a number of lawsuits.
D. Food poisoning can be caused by a number of factors, some of which are nearly impossible to prevent.
E. A large corporation was found to have significantly underpaid its 1993 taxes; the Internal Revenue Service should audit every large corporation to ensure that all claims and deductions are legal.
OA is E
Please explain me how to approach this question.
