How to tackle these type of problems?
City official: In order to revitalize our city's downtown business district, we should increase the number of police officers that patrol the district during business hours. Three years ago, the city reduced the total size of its police force by nearly 20 percent. Since then, retail businesses in the district have experienced a steady decline in revenue.
Any of the following, if true, would be an effective criticism of the city official's recommendation EXCEPT:
a. Two years ago, the city established more rigorous standards for the retention and hiring of its police officers.
b. New businesses offering products or services similar to those in the district have emerged outside the district recently.
c. The number of people who reside in the district has not changed significantly over the last three years.
d. Businesses operating in the city but outside the district have experienced declining revenues during the last three years.
e. Some of the city's police officers patrol areas outside as well as inside the district.
