Hi All

The answer is "B"..Reason as follows in the trail...

Quote:
Citizens of parktown are worried by the increased frequency of serious crimes committed by local teenagers. In response, the city government has instituted a series of measures designed to keep teenagers at home in the late evening. Even if the measures succeed in keeping teenagers at home, however, they are unlikely to affect the problem that concerns citizens, since most crimes committed by local teenagers take place between 3pm and 6pm

a)Similar measures adopted in other place have failed to reduce the no of teenagers in the late evening...Insufficient ,what kind of measures not elaborated between 3 pm and 6pm?..Incorrect

b)Crimes committed by teenagers in afternoon are mostly small thefts and inconsequential ...At least the Best argument making sense during the time frame 3pm to 6 pm

c)teenagers are much less likely to commit serious crimes when they are at home than when they are not at home..No relevance ...substatiate data unavailable to proove this.

d)Any decrease in the need for police patrols in late evening would not mean that there could be more intensive patrolling in the afternoon ..Police patrolling or roles is not the subject of the statement and is completely irrelevant.

e)The schools in parktown have introduced a number of after school programs that will be available to teenagers until 6pm on weekday afternoons...Specific mention of "weekdays" makes it a no go...had the term "weekdays" not been included this would have been the undisputed and best option among the 5...
