Editorialist: Drivers with a large number of demerit
points who additionally have been convicted of
a serious driving-related offense should either
be sentenced to jail or be forced to receive
driver reeducation, since to do otherwise would
be to allow a crime to go unpunished. Only if
such drivers are likely to be made more
responsible drivers should driver re-education
be recommended for them. Unfortunately, it is
always almost impossible to make drivers with
a large number of demerit points more
responsible drivers.
If the editorialist’s statements are true, they provide
the most support for which one of the following?
(A) Drivers with a large number of demerit points
who have been convicted of a serious
driving-related offense should be sent to jail.
(B) Driver re-education offers the best chance of
making drivers with a large number of
demerit points responsible drivers.
(C) Driver re-education is not a harsh enough
punishment for anyone convicted of a serious
driving-related offense who has also
accumulated a large number of demerit
points.
(D) Driver re-education should not be
recommended for those who have committed
no serious driving-related offenses.
(E) Drivers with a large number of demerit points
but no conviction for a serious
driving-related offense should receive driver
re-education rather than jail.
Answer A
I thought it mimics the premise and should not be the answer. Am I missing something?
