­George: The anti-drunk driving campaigns will not be successful. Some people are just immune to these campaigns and will drink and drive no matter what.

Shelly: Complete eradication of drunk driving is not the expected outcome. The goal is reduction.

Shelly responds to George by:

(A) questioning the veracity of George’s evidence
(B) suggesting that George’s conclusion is based on incorrect assumptions
(C) partially agreeing with George’s main conclusion but disagreeing with his reasoning
(D) partially agreeing with George’s point of view but suggesting that he has overlooked a beneficial effect
(E) contradicting George’s reasoning and supplying an alternative reasoning­
­


Official Explanation



Answer: D

Shelly suggests that George may have got the goal of the ad campaign wrong because the goal is not to eradicate drunk driving but to just reduce the cases of drunk driving. D states this best and is the correct answer.

(A) Shelly never questions the authenticity of George’s evidence. She, in fact, partly agrees with what he says; the only thing is that George concludes that the campaign will have no effect whereas Shelly concludes that it will have a beneficial effect.

(B) Shelly suggests no such thing about George’s assumption; rather, she suggests that George’s conclusion may not be the intended conclusion of the campaign.

(C) Shelly does partially agree with George’s conclusion but she never disagrees with his reasoning. She disagrees with George about whether the conclusion should actually be what George thinks it should be.

(D) The correct answer.

(E) Shelly never contradicts George’s reasoning but his conclusion, which also she partially agrees with.­
