E is tempting but I dont like the usage of the words "Weekday afternoons" :?


Got some clue now...The stimulus talks about local teenagers doing serious crimes between 3pm and 6pm...

What if the crimes commited by teenagers in the afternoon are mostly small thefts and Inconsequential vandalism..

I think this option weakens the argument..however I am assuming that between 3pm and 6pm can be considered afternoon!

Thinking it's E, but I don't like the fact that they are "available" not mandatory...B suggests that its still a crime, no matter how small. I was looking into D for a while, but then realized its actually the exact opposite.

I'll go with E. Final Answer, no lifeline.

The argument mentions 'serious' crimes and this is the only option that weakens the argument by specifying that the crimes committed between 3 and 6 are 'not serious'. So it seems appropriate - yes.

FYI - If you want mandatory explanations to your questions - mention that in your posting and people who feel like will do so.

Premise 1 -_Citizens of PK are woriied of increased by freq commtied by local teens
Premise2:In reposne govt institued to keep teenagers in the evening...

even if this succeeds .... problem wil nto solve!!... since most crimes commited by teenars 3 - 6

freq is the worry here.... govet came back and said measure tio make them to stay !

so all kids are part of it ??

if this succeeds on the first place !! how ??


aother places might have a differnt criteria--- so not help ful
b-- we know crimes .. categories of it is not necessary and does not weaken
c--- this instead strengthens the argument
d---Irrelavant
e----COrrect

I am split between B and E ! but i am going for E
but it mentions ( small thefts and vandalism which might not be seriosu)

vishu
KILL !! DIE !! or BEAT my FEAR !!! de@D END!!

IMO:B especially due to mention of "serious crime" in the stimulus.

I'm going to have to agree with B (changing my answer from E).

Serious crime vs. petty crime reasoning.

IMO B

Citizens are concerned with Serious crimes

evening most crime happens ( but are they serious ...don't know )

Yes B for me too...

If teenagers do non serious crimes during afternoon..
Then it weakens the conclusion that keeping them home during evening will
not decrease serious crimes....
