Ms. Evangeline Rose argued that the money and time invested in acquiring a professional degree are totally wasted. As evidence supporting her argument, she offered the case of a man who, at considerable expense of money and time, completed his law degree and then married and lived as a house-husband, taking care of their children and working part time at a day-care center so that his wife could pursue her career. The logical reasoning of Ms. Rose's argument is closely paralleled by which of the following?

A) A juvenile delinquent who insists that his behavior should be attributable to the fact that his parents did not love him.
B) A senator who votes large sums of money for military equipment, but who votes against programs designed to help the poor.
C) A conscientious objector who bases his draft resistance on the premise that there can be no moral wars.
D) When a policeman is found guilty of murdering his wife, an opponent of police brutality who says, -That's what these people mean by law and order.-
E) A high school senior who decides that rather than go to college he will enroll in a vocational training program to learn to be an electrician.

Option A - INCORRECT.
Parental love is not based on the behavior of the child always. Parental love is inbuilt and from the heart so requesting for more now relies on the good behavior of the child which this should not affect the public perception about the child.

Option B - CORRECT.
This is a very good example to express the argument in this reasoning. A senator who votes large sum of money for military equipment, but who votes against programs designed to help the poor. This means that the senator does not have the interest of the people at heart and his ready to cause ciaos if his wish is been taken for granted.

Option C - INCORRECT.
There will always be moral war so basing his draft resistance on the fact that there won't be moral war is a deceit to himself.

Option D - INCORRECT.
Apparently the crime his has committed is worthy enough for him to be jailed. Therefore the judgement passed is called discipline in authority or orderliness in law and order.

Option E - INCORRECT./b]
Both vocational and formal training is of topmost important to him, the only difference is the location where the training is head and the knowledge of people involved in the training.
