Here is Joe's argument:
Premises:
Crop circles have mysteriously appeared from time to time on farms
The appearance of these crop circles is usually preceded by strange lights in the sky
No human has ever been caught in the act of creating one of these patterns.
Conclusion: These crop circles must be the product of aliens from outer space.
Here is Steve's argument:
Premises:
Weird secret society could be doing this.
Or perhaps college fraternities.
His opinion: I seriously doubt that these crop circles are the product of extra-terrestrial beings.
(C)negating the validity of a premise upon which Joe relies in drawing his conclusion
Steve does not negate the validity of Joe's premises. He doesn't say there are no crop circles or no lights in the sky etc. He gives alternative explanations for these phenomena - secret society, college frat
D)offering alternative explanations consistent with the evidence that Joe cites
Yes, he gives alternative explanations consistent with the evidence (crop circles, lights in the sky, no human caught). Secret societies could be causing these (hence not caught).
This is correct.

Hi,
I understand that use of the word 'refute' would be incorrect, but I am not able to understand one thing- the evidence includes the fact that light is also seen. Joe's explanation does not address this factor. Or am I supposed to know that secret societies nad fraternities do pre-light shows of some sort as well? : P
Can you please help me understand?
KarishmaB HarshR9, seek your help. Thanks!

"consistent with the evidence" means "does not go against the evidence and co-exists."
It does not mean that the evidence is explicitly supported.
