Houses that are located near the beach tend to rise in value, because they often have excellent views of the ocean. However, they may not be a good investment, because they are also particularly susceptible to natural disasters.
Which of the following displays reasoning parallel to that in the statements above?
A
Boxing is a sport that can cause irreparable damage to the body and brain. Doctors have recently discovered that boxers often sustain damage to the brain stem and spinal cord after a full career, which can cause more dire consequences than damage to the cerebellum.
B
Medieval knights were known for their chivalrous behavior, which included a code of conduct regarding how the knights treated women. In the modern sense, "chivalry" has a somewhat different definition, although it retains its ancient connotations of politeness, honor and responsibility.
C
As beach volleyball has become a more popular sport in recent years, the number of beach volleyball players has increased significantly. However, companies that manufacture volleyballs have not increased their profits as much as they expected, because new players tend to play large games with one ball, rather than many smaller games, each of which would require its own ball.
D
Buying concert tickets from unauthorized websites is a good way to get cheap tickets, because sellers need not pay a middleman when reselling tickets. Those using unauthorized sites should note, though, that using such sites places one at a far greater risk of identity theft.
E
People who live near the sites of nuclear waste dumps are considered to be at a somewhat higher risk of certain medical conditions. However, actuaries are hesitant to take these risks into account when deciding on the premiums that people must pay, because the risks are unproven.
