Opponents of laws that require automobile drivers and passengers to wear seat belts argue that in a free society people have the right to take risks as long as the people do not harm other as a result of taking the risks.As a result, they conclude that it should be each person’s decision whether or not to wear a seat belt.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the conclusion drawn above?
A. Many new cars are built with seat belts that automatically fasten when someone sits in the front seat.
B. Automobile insurance rates for all automobile owners are higher because of the need to pay for the
increased injuries or deaths of people not wearing seat belts.
C. Passengers in airplanes are required to wear seat belts during takeoffs and landings.
D. The rate of automobile fatalities in states that do not have mandatory seat belt laws is greater than the rate
of fatalities in states that do have such laws.
E. In automobile accidents, a greater number of passengers who do not wear seat belts are injured than are
passengers who do wear seat belts.
Thanks & Regards,

B - it weakens the conclusion as other people who wear seta belts are being made to pay more coz of people who do not wear.
conslusion says as long as other people are nor harmed by non seat belt drivers its fine. but B violates tht.

Opponents: it should be each person's decision to wear the seat belt, because person can take a risk as long as it does not affect others.

A. Many new cars are built with seat belts that automatically fasten when someone sits in the front seat.what changes are happening in a new cars does not affect the argument. IRRELEVANT
B. Automobile insurance rates for all automobile owners are higher because of the need to pay for the
increased injuries or deaths of people not wearing seat belts. other are affect because of other people taking the risk. WEAKEN
C. Passengers in airplanes are required to wear seat belts during takeoffs and landings.IRRELEVANT. Does not affect our argument. It does not show people taking the risk and other getting affected.
D. The rate of automobile fatalities in states that do not have mandatory seat belt laws is greater than the rate of fatalities in states that do have such laws.rate of fatalities in one state is higher than rate of fatalities in other state. This does not affect our argument. It does not show the relationship that our argument is talking about. i.e Risk and affect of that risk on others
E. In automobile accidents, a greater number of passengers who do not wear seat belts are injured than are passengers who do wear seat belts. More people without seat belts are injured. This does not show who took risk. It may be that cars with people wearing seat belts caused more accidents. IRRELEVANT
