In following CR question, I easily eliminated the 3 irrelevent options but got stuck in the remaining two:
Staristics show that more than half of the nation's murder victims knew their assailants; in fact, 24 percent last year were killed by relatives. Nor was death always completely unexpected.In one study, about half the murder victims in a particular city had called for police protection at least five times during the 24 months before they were murdered. Nonetheless, most people are more likely to fear being killed by a stranger in an unfamiliar situation than by a friend or relative at home.
Which of the following , if true, best explains the attitude of most people to the likelyhood of being murdered?
1) Statistics are likely to be discounted no matter what the source, if their implication seems to run counter to the common sense.
4)Most people do not consider themselves to be in the high risk groups in which murder occurs frequently between relations, but they do see themselves as at least mininally susceptible to random violence.
Ans is 4
I would appreciate if any Instructor can help me eliminate one of these.
Thanks in advance.
