Thyrian lawmaker: Thyria's Cheese Importation Board inspects all cheese shipments to Thyria and rejects
shipments not meeting specified standards. Yet only 1 percent is ever rejected. Therefore, since the health
consequences and associated economic costs of not rejecting that 1 percent are negligible, whereas the
board's operating costs are considerable, for economic reasons alone the board should be disbanded.
Consultant: I disagree. The threat of having their shipments rejected deters many cheese exporters from
shipping substandard product.
The consultant responds to the lawmaker's argument by
(A) rejecting the lawmaker's argument while proposing that the standards according to which the board
inspects imported cheese should be raised
(B) providing evidence that the lawmaker's argument has significantly overestimated the cost of maintaining
the board
(C) objecting to the lawmaker's introducing into the discussion factors that are not strictly economic
(D) pointing out a benefit of maintaining the board, which'the lawmaker's argument has failed to consider
(E) shifting the discussion from the argument at hand to an attack on the integrity of the cheese inspectors
OA D
